„This book is a good reference for advanced students inantenna and RF engineering, wireless communications, electricalengineering, radio engineers and other professionals needing areference on antenna theory. It will also be of interest toadvanced or senior radio engineers, designers and developers as apractical guide and reference. It assumes knowledge ofelectromagnetic theory and vector analysis but is a good, compactreference book for antennas.“ (MicrowaveJournal, 1 January 2013)
Antenna Theory and Applications
von Hubregt J. VisserThis comprehensive text on antenna theory explains the origin ofradiation and discusses antenna parameters in-depth
This book offers an in-depth coverage of fundamental antennatheory, and shows how to apply this in practice. The authordiscusses electromagnetic radiation and antenna characteristicssuch as impedance, radiation pattern, polarization, gain andefficiency. In addition, the book provides readers with thenecessary tools for analyzing complex antennas and for designingnew ones. Furthermore, a refresher chapter on vector algebra, including gradient, divergence and curl operation is included. Throughout the book ample examples of employing the derived theoryare given and all chapters are concluded with problems, giving thereader the opportunity to test his/her acquired knowledge.
Key Features:
* Covers the mathematical and physical background that is neededto understand electromagnetic radiation and antennas
* Discusses the origin of radiation and provides an in-depthexplanation of antenna parameters
* Explores all the necessary steps in antenna analysis allowingthe reader to understand and analyze new antenna structures
* Contains a chapter on vector algebra, which is often astumbling block for learners in this field
* Includes examples and a list of problems at the end of eachchapter
* Accompanied by a website containing solutions to the problems(for instructors) and CST modeling files (www. wiley. com/go/visser_antennas
This book will serve as an invaluable reference for advanced(last year Bsc, Msc) students in antenna and RF engineering, wireless communications, electrical engineering, radio engineersand other professionals needing a reference on antenna theory. Itwill also be of interest to advanced/senior radio engineers, designers and developers.
