Microwaves101
A free encyclopedia of RF and microwave practice maintained by working engineers, with over 2,000 entries plus calculators and design spreadsheets. Covers transmission lines, waveguides, S-parameters, matching, couplers, filters, phased arrays, materials and measurement from a hardware perspective. It answers the questions that arise when you actually build something.
Microwave Engineering (4th Edition)
The working reference for RF and microwave circuit engineering. Covers transmission line theory, waveguides, S-parameter network analysis, impedance matching, resonators, couplers and hybrids, filters, ferrite devices, noise, and the design of amplifiers, oscillators and mixers.
Introduction to Electrodynamics (5th Edition)
The standard junior-level electrodynamics text, now published by Cambridge. Builds Maxwell's equations from electrostatics and magnetostatics, then treats conservation laws, wave propagation in media, potentials and fields, radiation, and relativistic electrodynamics, with computational problems in Mathematica. Nothing else explains why the equations take the form they do with this clarity.
Electromagnetics, Volume 1
Peer-reviewed open textbook for a first university course in engineering electromagnetics, using a transmission-lines-first approach. Covers vector analysis, electrostatics, steady current, magnetostatics, time-varying fields and plane waves; Volume 2 continues into waveguides, antennas and radiation.
