Antenna Theory Analysis and Design 2nd Edition by Constantine A Balanis

The Latest Resource for the Study of Antenna Theory! In a discipline that has experienced vast technological changes, this text offers the most recent look at all the necessary topics. Highlights include new coverage of microstrip antenna information essential to a wide variety of practical designs of rectangular and circular patches, including computer programs, Applications of the Fourier transform (spectral) method to antenna radiation, Updated material on moment methods, radar cross-section, mutual impedances, aperture and horn antennas, compact range designs, and antenna measurements. A New Emphasis on Design! Balanis features a tremendous increase in design procedures and equations. This presents a solid solution to the challenge of meeting real-life situations faced by engineers. Computer programs contained in the book and accompanying software-have been developed to help engineers analyze, design, and visualize the radiation characteristics of antennas.
