The millimetre-wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum is increasingly exploited for a wide range of commercial industrial and military applications. Conventionally this region is considered as lying above microwaves and below the infrared. Hence in practice millimetre-wave scientists have tended to pick and mix useful techniques on an empirical basis from both these areas. Millimetre-Wave Optics Devices and Systems describes the fundamental physics of the quasi-optical techniques devices and system design for instruments processing millimetre-wave signals. Relevant ideas from Gaussian beam mode theory and antenna and transmission line theory are brought together to show the underlying unity of optics and electronics. Aimed at advanced undergraduates and postgraduates as well as millimetre-wave laser optics antenna and microwave engineers this book will also be of interest to manufacturers of millimetre-wave and microwave equipment.
