Microwave Know How, edited by Andy Barter G8ATD, is a comprehensive collection of practical construction articles for radio amateurs interested in building equipment for the microwave bands. The projects come from experienced microwave constructors around the world, ensuring every design uses modern techniques and readily available components.

This 192‑page volume covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Antennaswith practical designs for 23cm, 13cm and 6cm

• Power amplifiersfor 23cm and 10GHz

• Measuring equipment, including a spectrum analyser, techniques and a versatile noise source

• Filters, filter design theory, and a 13cm hybrid coupler

• Modifying commercial equipmentto operate on 5.7GHz, 10 GHz,and 24GHz

• Converters, including an S‑band converter using a YIG LO and a 2m down‑converter for SDR use

• Oscillators, showing how to use DDS devices and MMICs effectively

Whether you’re already active on the microwave bands or looking for new construction challenges, Microwave Know Howprovides the guidance and inspiration to expand your capabilities using modern devices and techniques.
