Antennas and Radiowave Propagation (MCGRAW HILL SERIES IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING)

This is a modern,well-written,senior level text incorporating both antennas and wave propagation. Both design and theory principles are stressed,with particular attention to receiving antennas. The objective is to give the communication engineer the ability to predict the performance of a communication link and to appreciate the tradeoffs between antenna gain,receiver noise figure,and transmitter power.
