The term microwave ( 微 波 ) refers to alternating current signals with frequencies between 300 MHz (3108 Hz) and 30 GHz (31010 Hz), with a corresponding electrical wavelength between 1 m and 1 cm. (Pozar defines the range from 300 MHz to 300 GHz)

The term millimeter wave ( 毫 米 波 ) refers to alternating current signals with frequencies between 30 GHz (31010 Hz) to 300 GHz (31011 Hz), with a corresponding electrical wavelength between 1 cm to 1 mm.

The term RF ( 射頻 ) is an abbreviation for the “Radio Frequency”. It refers to alternating current signals that are generally applied to radio applications, with a wide electromagnetic spectrum covering from several hundreds of kHz to millimeter waves.

Chapter 1

Electromagnetic Theory

History of Microwave Engineering

J.C. Maxwell (1831-1879) formulated EM theory in 1873. O. Heaviside (1850-1925) introduced vector notation

and provided an analysis foundation for guided waves and transmission lines from 1885 to 1887.

H. Hertz (1857-1894) verified the EM propagation along wire experimentally from 1887 to 1891

G. Marconi (1874-1937) invented the idea of wireless communication and developed the first practical commercial radio communication system in 1896.

E.H. Armstrong (1890-1954) invented superheterodyne architecure and frequency modulation (FM) in 1917.

N. Marcuvitz, I.I. Rabi, J.S. Schwinger, H.A. Bethe, E.M. Purcell, C.G. Montgomery, and R.H. Dicke built up radar theory and practice at MIT in 1940s (World War II).
