Balanis' Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics

Balanis' Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics

The latest edition of the foundational guide to advanced electromagnetics

Balanis' Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics, now in its third edition, has been a global best-seller for over 30 years. This edition covers the advanced knowledge engineers involved in electromagnetics need to know, especially as the topic relates to the fast-moving, continuously evolving, and rapidly expanding field of wireless communications. The immense interest in wireless communications and the expected increase in wireless communications systems projects—such as antennas, microwaves, and wireless communications—indicates a growing demand for engineers specialising in this field.

Highlights of the 3rd Edition include:

A new chapter on Artificial Impedance Surfaces (AIS) featuring current and advanced EM technologies, including the exciting topic of metasurfaces for:

• Control and broadband RCS reduction using checkerboard designs.
• Optimisation of antenna fundamental parameters, such as input impedance, directivity, realised gain, and amplitude radiation pattern.
• Leaky-wave antennas using 1-D and 2-D polarisation diverse-holographic high impedance metasurfaces for antenna radiation control and optimisation.
• Associated MATLAB programmes for the design of checkerboard metasurfaces for RCS reduction, metasurface printed antennas, and holographic LWAs for radiation control and optimisation.

Throughout the book, there are:

• Additional examples, numerous end-of-chapter problems, and PPT notes.
• Fifty-three MATLAB computer programmes for computations, graphical visualisations, and animations.
• Nearly 4,500 multicolour PowerPoint slides are available for self-study or lecture use.
