Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design presents the fundamental principles of antenna theory, guiding readers through the analysis, design, and measurement of various antenna types. Covering basic and practical antenna configurations such as linear dipoles, loops, arrays, broadband antennas, aperture antennas, horns, microstrip antennas, and reflector antennas, it includes new sections on recent developments like flexible and conformal bowtie antennas, Vivaldi antennas, miniaturisation techniques, and antennas for mobile communications. The text incorporates detailed mathematics suitable for senior undergraduate and beginner graduate students in electrical engineering and physics, supplemented by colour illustrations and access to a companion website with MATLAB programs and interactive tools.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Updated with colour and grey scale illustrations, a companion website housing supplementary material, and new sections covering recent developments in antenna analysis and design.

This book introduces the fundamental principles of antenna theory and explains how to apply them to the analysis, design, and measurements of antennas. Due to the variety of methods of analysis and design, and the different antenna structures available, the applications covered in this book relate to some of the most basic and practical antenna configurations. Among these antenna configurations are linear dipoles; loops; arrays; broadband antennas; aperture antennas; horns; microstrip antennas; and reflector antennas. The text contains sufficient mathematical detail to enable undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical engineering and physics to follow the flow of analysis and design. Readers should have a basic knowledge of undergraduate electromagnetic theory, including Maxwell’s equations and the wave equation, introductory physics, and differential and integral calculus.

  • Presents new sections on flexible and conformal bowtie, Vivaldi antenna, antenna miniaturisation, antennas for mobile communications, dielectric resonator antennas, and scale modeling.
  • Provides colour and grey scale figures and illustrations to better depict antenna radiation characteristics.
  • Includes access to a companion website housing MATLAB programs, Java-based applets and animations, Power Point notes, Java-based interactive questionnaires and a solutions manual for instructors.
  • Introduces over 100 additional end-of-chapter problems.

Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design, Fourth Edition is designed to meet the needs of senior undergraduate and beginning graduate level students in electrical engineering and physics, as well as practising engineers and antenna designers.
