Microwave Semiconductors
Chapter
Abstract
The frequency range 1 GHz to 40 GHz is commonly referred to as the microwave band. It is the purpose of this chapter to describe briefly three major groups of microwave semiconductors used in radar and communications and to indicate their important parameters together with some of the measurement techniques used for assessment.
