Abdullah Eroglu, Ph.D., is an associate professor of electrical engineering in the Engineering Department at Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne, USA. From 2000 to 2008 he worked as RF senior design engineer at MKS Instruments, where he was involved with the design of RF power amplifiers and systems. His teaching and research interests include RF circuit design, microwave engineering, development of nonreciprocal devices, electromagnetic fields, wave propagation, radiation, and scattering in anisotropic and gyrotropic media. He has published more than 70 peer reviewed journal and conference papers and has authored two books. Dr. Eroglu is a reviewer of several journals and on the editorial board of the Journal of Communications and Network. He is the recipient of the 2013 IPFW Featured Faculty Award, 2011 Sigma Xi Researcher of the Year Award, 2010 ETCS Excellence in Research Award, and 2004 Outstanding Graduate Student award from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Syracuse University, USA.

Throughout, the book contains practical methods to help designers reduce design time. It is an outstanding resource for RF component designers in the MF and UHF range and for engineering students interested in RF design and theory. It reflects the best design methodology used in RF engineering available today, from the application of theory to modeling for verification, optimization, and experimentation. It is filled with useful methods, tips, and techniques and will be an invaluable reference book for those working in the MF and UHF field. --John J.
