Thebook is written for an undergraduate course on the transmission lines and waveguides. It provides comprehensive coverage of four terminal networks, filters, transmission lines and various types of waveguides.
The book starts with explaining the symmetrical and asymmetrical four terminal networks which form the basis of filters. Then book provides the detailed discussion of various types of filters. The discussion of composite filters and crystal filter is also included in the book. The book covers the transmission line parameters in detail along with reflection on a line, reflection loss and reflection factor. The chapter on transmission line at radio frequency includes parameters of line at high frequency, standing waves, standing wave ratio, single stub matching, double stub matching and Smith chart.
The book covers the various aspects of guided waves between parallel planes. It also provides the discussion of rectangular and circular waveguides. At the end book incorporates the discussion of resonators.
Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The explanations are given using very simple and lucid language. All the chapters are arranged in a specific sequence which helps to build the understanding of the subject in a logical fashion. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.
After graduation, he started his career as Visiting Lecturer in Bharati Vidyapeeth's College of Engineering, Pune, and PVG's College of Engineering and Technology, Pune. Then he continued as a lecturer at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune.
While working in VIT, he introduced new concepts in teaching methods. He also introduced the concept of Quality Circle at the educational institute level. The Quality Circle, started by him at VIT, got recognition at the national level. While working in VIT, he conducted training programs in various industries like Bajaj Auto, Bharat Electronics, Cummins, etc. He developed many small models and projects in Electrical Department of VIT to teach engineering subjects concepts. At the same time, he published his first book on Feedback Control Systems which got an overwhelming response all over India.
After leaving VIT, he was Joint Director of Noble Institute of Computer Training, Pune. Due to his dedicated teaching and endless efforts, many students from this institute got admission to ranked U.S. universities with an assistantship.
After that, he started his coaching classes to impart thorough knowledge to the engineering students of various engineering subjects. Professor Bakshi simultaneously published many engineering books. The books written by him are recommended by multiple Indian and foreign universities in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He has a total of 30 years of teaching and writing experience in the field of engineering.
