Preface

demic and industry aspects.

This book is a self-contained collection of scholarly papers targeting the audience of practic‐ ing researchers, academics, postgraduate students and other scientists whose work relates to waveguide researches and waveguide technologies. This book intends to provide the read‐ ers with a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in waveguide technologies. It is divided into three sections with a total of 19 chapters. These chapters are written by several authors: researchers, scientists and experts in specific research fields related to radio‐ frequency (RF)/microwave, photonic and optical engineering. The editor would like to take this opportunity to thank all the authors for their valuable contributions. In fact, each chap‐ ter provides an introduction on the specific waveguide technologies as well as a detailed explanation of the methodology on how to solve the raised issues, which include both aca‐

The first section contains five chapters related to RF and microwave waveguide technolo‐ gies. The second section consists of ten chapters that focus on photonic and optical wave‐ guide technologies. Recently, the rapid development of waveguides has had a significant impact on the current industrial, electrical/electronic, clinical, and communication fields. The products of waveguide contributions are high-speed circuits, real-time and wireless control systems, high-quality information and communication (IC) components, low-attenu‐ ation transmission lines, nanoantennas, micro/nanoelectronic devices, and so on. In addi‐

The third section includes four chapters on waveguide analytical solutions. Analytical anal‐ ysis has played a very important role in the academic microwave engineering and associat‐ ed industries. Engineers in the microwave field will be able to understand the operating background of waveguide devices through analytical analysis because this is the fundamen‐ tal knowledge of waveguide designs before entering into further applications. Based on the analytical models, the time spent on waveguide (antennas, communication components,
