Superconductor Technology: Applications to Microwave, Electro-Optics, Electrical Machines, and Propulsion Systems (Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering) [9780471177753]

Overview

Comprehensive coverage of theory and applications alike

Superconductor Technology integrates research efforts from aroundthe world and provides the most comprehensive presentation ofsuperconducting technology available. It covers high- andlow-temperature superconductors (HTSC and LTSC) and, while thediscussion centers on the more practical HTSC applications (thosein the range of 77K), the advantages of LTSC technology in certaincircumstances are also explored.

Author A. R. Jha examines the implementation of superconductingtechnology in every conceivable system or device, identifyingapplications and potential applications in diverse fields,including radio astronomical systems, laser radar, microwave andmillimeter-wave missile receivers, satellite communication systems,high-resolution medical equipment, and many more. Complete withnumerous illustrations and photographs and fully referenced,Superconductor Technology:
* Covers theory and practice across a wide range of disciplines
* Presents critical performance parameters for components, devices,and systems
* Shows how to integrate HTSC and LTSC technology
* Describes numerous hardware applications
* Examines the forms and properties of superconductors
* Provides the necessary mathematical expressions and derivations
* Presents performance parameters and experimental data forreal-world devices

Superconductor Technology is an essential reference for physicists,research scientists, microwave engineers, optical system andcommunication engineers, and others in a variety of disciplines.Clearly written and well-organized, it is also a compelling andaccessible text for undergraduate and graduate students.
