Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design

The main objective of this book is to introduce, in a unified manner, the fundamental principles of antenna theory and to apply them to the analysis, design, and measurements of antennas. Because there are so many methods of analysis and design and a plethora of antenna structures, applications are made to some of the most basic and practical configurations, such as linear dipoles; loops; arrays; broadband dipoles; traveling wave, broadband, and frequency independent antennas; aperture and microstrip antennas; horns, reflectors, and lens antennas. A distinguishing feature of this book is its three-dimensional graphical illustrations. In addition, there is an abundance of general graphical illustrations, design data, references, and additional problems.
