The 4th edition of this classic text provides a thorough coverage of RF and microwave engineering concepts, starting from fundamental principles of electrical engineering, with applications to microwave circuits and devices of practical importance. Coverage includes microwave network analysis, impedance matching, directional couplers and hybrids, microwave filters, ferrite devices, noise, nonlinear effects, and the design of microwave oscillators, amplifiers, and mixers. Material on microwave and RF systems includes wireless communications, radar, radiometry, and radiation hazards. A large number of examples and end-of-chapter problems test the reader’s understanding of the material. The 4th edition includes new and updated material on systems, noise, active devices and circuits, power waves, transients, RF CMOS circuits, and more.

Excellent Theoretical Development With Associated Mathematics
Unlike many texts, this one supplies sufficient mathematical derivation/development that a practicing engineer can rapidly exploit the results as opposed to the “oh so fun” “This exercise is left to the reader.” case. This also helps the folks who have no hope of developing the math any further than the initial stuff common in textbooks–even with Mathematica (et al) for help. In my case, I needed the theoretical math for waveguide cutoff–not too hard. However, if you have some folks with finite element simulations producing questionable results and you need something to “beat them over the head” with because they are way off from theory, it is really helpful to have a whole textbook to use to beat them over the head.

Best Text for Truly Understanding Microwave Engineering
This is a fantastic book. Wish I had it 50 years ago! The material is vast and considered all parts of microwave design from transmission, to antennas, to devices, to system elements. I would argue that this is a must have for anyone in microwave engineering. The author has done a superb job in presenting the material without taking the reader down the path of theoretic drivel. This is a classic in engineering presentation. It balances theory with application and is as current as any text of this type can be.

One correction in Page 78, eq. (2.79b)
This is an amazing textbook. Although there is a potential typo in page 78 equation 2.79b. Xin(Xin + Xg) = 0 is supposed to be Rin(Xin + Xg) = 0. Applying Xin = 0 does not satisfy that identity of the partial differential equations with respect to the Xin.

This is a great book. It has all the gory details that you made need, or it can be skimmed for the math tools that you need to solve problems quickly. If you do need to understand something thoroughly, the writing is plain and clear — easy to understand. My background is Masters level physics with a lot of hands on practical experience in electronics. I really liked this book.–Chris

Regardless this is still a GREAT book.
I purchased this book to replace an older copy of mine that now has quite a bit of wear. The book arrived and to my surprise was over 2X as thick as my first book. It seems that two different companies were used to print the books…Courier Kendallville and Markano Print Media. The latter used thinner sheets which greatly reduced the overall thickness of the book. Regardless this is still a GREAT book.

Strong on Foundation and Clarity
This is a good book (as other reviewers have mentioned). I don’t think it is the final word on introductory Microwave Engineering but it is definitely up there. The main attraction for learning microwave from this book is the stark clarity. Although I did not use it as a primary textbook it would make a great self-study.I would also recommend Microwave Engineering by R.E. Collin and Microwave and RF Design: A System Approach by Steer. Early editions of both of these can be had for cheap. I prefer Collin but it requires a careful read.EDIT: I forgot to point out that I own two editions (1st and 4th) and intend to keep both!

Unbelievable
This book manages to give an encyclopedic overview of microwave engineering but wrote in an easy to read almost novel formate. I found myself excited to most to the next chapter and not being able to put it down. Pozar covers all of the important into topics with passive engineering and even makes it into active and nonlinear microwave engineering. Provided me with a very solid foundation for advance books and courses in microwave engineering.
