Brief Microwave History
Maxwell (1864-73)
integrated electricity and magnetism
set of 4 coherent and self-consistent equations
predicted electromagnetic wave propagation
Hertz (1886-88)
experimentally confirmed Maxwell’s equations
oscillating electric spark to induce similar oscillations in a distant
wire loop (
=
10 cm)

Brief Microwave History
Marconi (early 20
th
 century)
parabolic antenna to demonstrate wireless telegraphic
communications
tried to commercialize radio at low frequency
Lord Rayleigh (1897)
showed mathematically that EM wave propagation possible in
waveguides
George Southworth (1930)
showed waveguides capable of small bandwidth transmission
for high powers

Brief Microwave History
R.H. and S.F. Varian (1937)
development of the klystron
MIT Radiation Laboratory (WWII)
radiation lab series - classic writings
Development of transistor (1950’s)
Development of Microwave Integrated Circuits
microwave circuit on a chip
microstrip lines
Satellites, wireless communications, ...

Advantages of Microwaves
Increased bandwidth availability
More bandwidth can be realized at higher frequencies. Bandwidth is
critically important because available frequency bands in the
electromagnetic spectrum are being rapidly depleted.
 Microwave signals travel by line of sight are not bent by the
ionosphere as are lower frequency signals and thus 
satellite and
terrestrial communication 
links with very high capacities are possible.
 Effective reflection area (radar cross section) of a radar target is
proportional to the target’s electrical size. Thus generally microwave
frequencies are preferred for 
radar systems

Advantages of microwaves
Power Requirments:
Transmitters/Receivers power requirments are pretty low at microwave
frequencies compared to short wave band
Transparency property of microwaves:
Microwave frequency band ranging from 300 MHz -10 GHz are
capable of freely propagating through the ionized layers surrounding
the earth as well as through the atmosphere

Application of microwave
 
Various molecular, atomic, and nuclear resonances occur at microwave
frequencies, creating a variety of unique applications in the areas of 
basic
science, remote sensing, medical diagnostics and treatment, and heating
methods
.
 Today, the majority of applications of microwaves are related to radar and
communication systems. Radar systems are used for detecting and locating
targets and for air traffic control systems, missile tracking radars, automobile
collision avoidance systems, weather prediction, motion detectors, and a wide
variety of remote sensing systems.
Microwave communication systems handle a large fraction of the world’s
international and other long haul telephone, data and television transmissions.
Most of the currently developing wireless telecommunications systems, such as
direct broadcast satellite (DBS) television, personal communication systems
(PCSs), wireless local area networks (WLANS), cellular video (CV) systems, and
global positioning satellite (GPS) systems rely heavily on microwave technology.
