Substrate Integrated Suspended Line Circuits and Systems
Kaixue Ma and Yongqiang Wang
This book explores the substrate integrated suspended line (SISL), an innovative transmission line technology with broad applications. It covers the fundamental principles, structural design and key characteristics of SISL, while offering detailed discussions on its use in passive circuits, active circuits and front-end subsystems. With a focus on RF, microwave and mmWave circuits and systems, the text systematically introduces core concepts and practical implementations.
This book is designed for a wide range of readers involved in the design and development of electronics for modern wireless communication systems. Its exploration of SISL-inspired printed resonators, with a focus on complex design trade-offs like resonator quality factor and oscillator phase noise performance, makes it particularly valuable to professionals working in sectors including signal source development for next-generation communication systems, radar, IoT and autonomous vehicle systems.
One highlight is the book’s inclusion of case studies showcasing successful implementations in oscillators, radar systems, wireless communication devices and satellite communication. These case studies not only demonstrate the versatility of SISL circuits but also provide insights into how these systems perform in actual applications, further reinforcing the book’s relevance.
Another standout feature is the comprehensive coverage of SISL manufacturing and fabrication techniques. The authors provide a deep dive into PCB fabrication, etching and assembly processes, along with the challenges that arise when working at higher frequencies. This section helps bridge the critical gap between circuit design and actual implementation, ensuring that professionals can transition from conceptual designs to functional, high performance systems.
Unlike many resources that focus on isolated aspects of microwave technology, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed structure, with seven chapters that explore the full spectrum of SISL applications. Each chapter offers both technical depth and accessibility, making it a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, scientists, academics and students involved in advanced microwave and RF technologies. up on the theory behind the practice.
