The ‘Waveguide Handbook’: Translation of the electromagnetic theory into practical network description

Summary form only given, as follows. Translation of the field theoretical description of microwave structures into practical lumped-element networks, as has been established by N. Marcuvitz in his work ‘Waveguide Handbook’ will be revisited. We will highlight the characteristic features of the book including the introduction of the concepts of equivalent voltages and currents and N-port networks, finding out very efficient equivalent circuits for a large number of microwave structures, and utilizing these circuits for RF design.
