ISBN 978-953-7619-66-4 V Preface This book deal with the modern developing of microwave and millimeter wave technologies. The rst chapter is aimed at describing the evolution of technological processes for the design of passive functions in millimetre-wave frequency range. From the results HR SOI seems to be a good candidate in the coming year to address both low cost and low power mass market CMOS digital and RF/ MMW applications. Materials that exhibit negative index (NI) of refraction have several potential applications in microwave technology. Examples include enhanced transmission line capability, power enhancement/size reduction in antenna applications and, in the eld of nondestructive testing, improved sensitivity of patch sensors and detection of sub-wavelength defects in dielectrics by utilizing a NI superlens. The next two chapters explains the physics underlying the design of purely dielectric NI metamaterials and will discuss some ways in which these materials may be used to enhance various microwave technologies. There are two main reasons to want to have information for the actual anisotropy of a substrate – to control the technology (necessary for the manufacturers) and to conduct more realistic simulations of the structures, containing anisotropic materials (necessary for the users). The 3rd chapter represented the increasing importance of the material’s anisotropy in the modern design and the possibilities for accurate determination of this characteristic by waveguide and resonance methods. Wave propagation in suppositional material was rst analyzed by Victor Vesalago in 1968. Suppositional material is characterised by negative permittivity and negative permeability material properties. Under these conditions, phase velocity propagates in opposite direction to group velocity. Since then, these electrical structures have been studied extensively and are referred to as meta-material structures. In the 4th chapter the authors analyze meta-material concepts using transmission line theory proposed by Caloz and Itho and propose effective materials for realising these concepts. They propose a novel NPLH (Near Pure Left Handed) transmission line concept to reduce RH (Right Handed) characteristics and realize compact small antenna designs using meta-material concepts and the possibility of realising negative permittivity using EM shielding of concrete block is considered. The basic theory of microwave lters, to describe how to design practical microwave lters, and to investigate ways of implementing high performance lters for modern communication systems are given in the 5th chapter. And the 6th chapter covered lters made using different technologies including active devices, MEMS, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials. Filters involving combined technologies VI were covered; and also the traditional tuning using mechanically adjustable screws was discussed. The 7th chapter present several key points in materials optimization, capacitor structure, and device designs that Georgia Institute of Technology and nGimat have focused on in the last few years. In the 8th chapter summarizes the current status of the MOSFET´s for very high frequency applications. The potential of high permittivity dielectric materials for local capacitive loading of microstrip components has been demonstrated in the 9th Chapter. The designs of miniature microstrip resonators, lters, and antennas with local high-permittivity dielectric loading have been developed, and the prototypes have been fabricated by using the LTCC technology that allowed for coprocessing different ceramic materials in multilayer and planar architecture. Three types of microstrip-to-waveguide transitions are presented in the 10th chapter. One is a transition with a short-circuited waveguide which is quite broadband such that bandwidth of reection below −20 dB is 24.9 GHz (32.5 %). Others two are a planar transition in multi-layer and single-layer substrate substrates. The original reector antenna design with the cylindrical monopole antenna as a sub-reector for application in radio monitoring for information protection has been presented in 11 chapter. In the 12 chapter present a brief coverage of both established and emerging techniques in materials characterization. The 802.11 a/b/g FEM with PAM was composed of a SPDT switch, a Rx diplexer, two Rx BPFs, a Tx diplexer, two Tx LPFs, two matching circuits, and a dual-band PAM and discussed in the 13 chapter. In simple terms, a millimeter-wave imaging sensor is a camera that uses millimeter waves. The authors in the 14th chapter reviewed imaging sensors using the millimeter-wave band. But to my regret the authors searched publications mainly on International Microwave Symposium and did not survey papers on SPIE and others sources. So the good review is not full, for example, Table 2 could be added by the results from [1] and so on. The authors in the chapter 15 describe and exemplify from many fractals applications one possible use, fractal antenna for terrestrial vehicles. In order to protect the antenna from various environments, dielectric radome is usually covered in front of the antenna. The authors in the chapter 16 mainly focus on the analysis and optimal design of the radome in millimeter wave band. But it could be noted that in some of case with help of 3D diffractive optics it is possible to design a millimeter-wave antenna without special radome [2]. Additional, in the chapter 17 the authors described the design scheme for multibeam dielectric lens antennas that well balances the conicting aims of high gain and low sidelobe level. The scheme is based on pareto-GA and lens shape is associated with GA chromosomes. In the chapter 18 investigated several structures in order to nd the main geometrical parameters able to improve performances of a PBG based particle accelerator. All the VII simulations reveal good performances for a structure based on dielectric rods and a suitable number of grating periods. In the last chapter, specic millimeter-wave features of the Fabry-Perot resonator are discussed. It is expected the book will attract more interest in microwave and millimeter wave technologies and simulate new ideas on this fascinating subject. References: 1. O.V.Minin and I.V.Minin.
