Description: Modern Antenna
Design, Second Edition continues the practical approach that marked the popular
first edition by distilling theory to the essentials of antenna design without
becoming buried in mathematics. Written by an expert antenna designer whose
designs have been used on NASA missions to explore Mars and Venus, the book
emphasizes and demonstrates real-world applications across a variety of fields,
including telecommunications, remote sensing, and broadcasting.
The Second
Edition reflects developments in antenna design and incorporates the author's
hands-on experience teaching antenna courses. The book begins with a basic
discussion of the properties of antennas that every designer needs to know and
then moves on to specific design topics, including:
Radiation
structures and numerical methods
Aperture
distributions and array synthesis
Dipoles, slots,
loops, and microstrip patches
Gaussian beam
analysis and waveguide horns
Reflector
antennas
Traveling wave
antennas
Frequency
independent antennas
Phased arrays
