Sommario/riassunto

Allies at Odds examines America's Vietnam policy from 1961 to 1968 in an international context by focusing on the United States' relationship with its European partners France, West Germany, and Great Britain. The European response to America's Vietnam policy



provides a framework to assess this important chapter in recent American history within the wider perspective of international relations. Equally significant, the respective approaches to the ""Vietnam question"" by the Europeans and Americans reveal the ongoing challenge

Sommario/riassunto

Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanar



waveguides to microwave circuits and antennas The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to more conventional waveguides, is their uniplanar construction, in which all of the conductors are aligned on the same side of the substrate. This feature simplifies manufacturing and allows faster and less expensive characterization using on-wafer techniques. Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systems is an engineer's complete resource, collecting all of the available data on the subject. Rainee Simons thoroughly discusses propagation parameters for conventional coplanar waveguides and includes valuable details such as the derivation of the fundamental equations, physical explanations, and numerical examples. Coverage also includes: . Discontinuities and circuit elements. Transitions to other transmission media. Directional couplers, hybrids, and magic T. Microelectromechanical systems based switches and phase shifters. Tunable devices using ferroelectric materials. Photonic bandgap structures. Printed circuit antennas.
