I'm looking for a good distributed circuits book.. Does anyone have recommendation ?

I looked into Horowitz's at amazon, but I'm not sure if it covers the topic. Does it ?
A distributed circuit is a type of electronic circuit where the components are physically separated and connected by transmission lines, such as wires or cables. This allows for the circuit to be spread out over a larger area, which can improve performance and reduce interference.
A traditional circuit typically consists of all the components being located on a single circuit board, while a distributed circuit has its components spread out over a larger area. Additionally, distributed circuits use transmission lines to connect the components, while traditional circuits typically use discrete wires.
Distributed circuits offer several advantages, including reduced electromagnetic interference, improved signal quality, and increased power handling capabilities. They also allow for smaller and more compact designs, as well as easier troubleshooting and maintenance.
Some potential disadvantages of using a distributed circuit include increased design complexity and cost, as well as the need for precise impedance matching between the components and transmission lines. There may also be limitations on the maximum frequency that can be used in a distributed circuit.
Distributed circuits are commonly used in high-frequency and high-power applications, such as radio frequency (RF) systems, microwave systems, and power amplifiers. They are also used in telecommunications, satellite systems, and wireless communication networks.
