Description
This book is a comprehensive review of methods available for microwave dielectric measurements and designated ferroelectric families. It will be an indispensable reference for researchers, engineers, and graduate students of the physics of structural phase transitions, superionic conductors, ferroelectrics, and related materials.
Recent technological advances affecting the size and useful frequency range of electronic elements depend heavily on the discovery of materials suitable for applications in the development of new radar systems, satellite broadcasting, and multichannel terrestrial and cosmic communications via the use of microwaves. Ferroelectrics and related materials have become of increasing importance for the utilization of microwave techniques, and in this monograph, the author summarizes the results of his 25 years of work in the field. This book provides a comprehensive review of methods available for microwave dielectric measurements and designated ferroelectric families. This volume will be an indispensable reference for researchers, engineers and graduate students of the physics of structural phase transitions, superionic conductors, ferroelectrics, and related materials.
