"... highly tutorial to help readers understand the fundamental basics in microwave measurements. Numerous equations derived step by step make the book adequate as a textbook. The examples and problem sets in each chapter offer a good chance for students to study and practice. ... [The text] has broad coverage of new updates to lift readers’ interest to an upper level. This is not commonly seen in other reference books for measurement techniques. For example, the chapter on vector network analyzers begins with the measurement of one-port scalar return loss, and then extends to two-port vector analysis. It explains the concept of calibration, and goes through the complicated mathematical formulations. Better yet, it touches on X-parameters in non-linear distortion characterization, newly introduced in recent IEEE papers. ... This book extends from the fundamental measurement theory to modern circuit characterization techniques. ... Students of little microwave engineering background shall be able to catch the concept without problem. Not only can they pick up the knowledge of what is inside the common microwave testing equipment, such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes, but also build up the ability to properly operate [the equipment]. This book is written to be quite readable. It can serve the purpose of self study as well. In my opinion, experienced microwave engineers can benefit from this book as a supplementary reference."
