About Microwave And RF Vacuum Electronic Power Sources
Product Description Do you design and build vacuum electron devices, or work with the systems that use them? Quickly develop a solid understanding of how these devices work with this authoritative guide, written by an author with over fifty years of experience in the field. Rigorous in its approach, it focuses on the theory and design of commercially significant types of gridded, linear-beam, crossed-field and fast-wave tubes. Essential components such as waveguides, resonators, slow-wave structures, electron guns, beams, magnets and collectors are also covered, as well as the integration and reliable operation of devices in microwave and RF systems. Complex mathematical analysis is kept to a minimum, and Mathcad worksheets supporting the book online aid understanding of key concepts and connect the theory with practice. Including coverage of primary sources and current research trends, this is essential reading for researchers, practitioners and graduate students working on vacuum electron devices. Review 'Vacuum electronic devices are marvels of technology that achieve amazing performance advantages by a sophisticated combination of a vast diversity of physics, materials, components, and engineering principles. This book finds a worthy value-add role in the pantheon of great vacuum electronics (VE) literature by masterfully marrying a comprehensive treatment with carefully crafted choices of appropriate - but not excessive - depth. Thus it informs, provides rigor, but is extremely accessible to many levels. The background treatment of electromagnetics is especially noteworthy - with its mapping of structure properties to equivalent circuit models - since the start for understanding VE is the science and design principles of electromagnetic fields in waveguides and resonators. The coverage of VE devices and critical materials is current and state-of-the-art, which is important since research discovery advances keep pushing the limits of the performance capabilities of modern VE. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.' John H. Booske, University of Wisconsin, Madison 'In spite of significant progress with solid state power amplifiers during the last decades, large zones in parameter space remain inaccessible by this technology and will continue to be the realm of vacuum electronics. Vacuum electronics however seems to have the undeserved reputation of being less 'modern' and thus often is given less attention in University classes. The book Microwave and RF Vacuum Electronic Power Sources responds to the urgent need to keep and build expertise in this field. Carter accomplishes the difficult task to present the matter well-structured didactically and in sufficient depth to make this an excellent textbook, both for self-education and to accompany lectures. At the same time and thanks to its completeness, accomplished experts would certainly want it in their bookshelves as a modern reference.' Erk Jensen, Head of RF group, CERN 'This book is a tour de force on the subject of high-power vacuum electronic devices and a 'must have' for anyone in the field. Professor Carter is a leading authority on the subject and has spent his career in equal parts developing the technology and teaching it in clear and intuitive style. The book contains a comprehensive review of the principles and conventions of all types of vacuum tubes with detailed explanations and examples of the most common varieties. Part history lesson, part 'how to' guide this book will be as useful to newcomers entering the field as it will be to the most experienced practitioners. The Mathcad Worksheets available online will be invaluable for those new to the subject and a starting off point for further development.' Robert Rimmer, JLab 'Combining pedagogy, science and practice, Professor Carter brings up step by step deeper in the detailed understanding and design methods of all types of RF and Microwave Electron Devices. A precious book for students, designers
