Antenna Theory And Design

Stutzman's 3rd edition of Antenna Theory and Design provides a more pedagogical approach with a greater emphasis on computational methods. New features include additional modern material to make the text more exciting and relevant to practicing engineers; new chapters on systems, low-profile elements and base station antennas; organizational changes to improve understanding; more details to selected important topics such as microstrip antennas and arrays; and expanded measurements topic.

This book covers the basic principles and fundamental microwave antenna types and techniques.

Market_Desc: · Advance courses in Antenna Theory and Design courses for seniors and first year graduate students in Electrical Engineering Special Features: · Provides fundamental methods of analysis that can be used to predict the electromagnetic behavior of nearly everything that radiates· Provides insightful examples of the application of theory to real design problems. It is beautifully and clearly written and is of the highest technical quality· This is the leading text on antenna arrays and the author is the leading researcher in this field. The text frequently refers to the historical development of antennas, which no other text does About The Book: This text is the classic work in Antenna Theory and Design and is just as relevant to the field today as it was when first published in 1981. It provides an analytic treatment, with supporting experimental evidence, of the major topics of concern to antenna designers. This is a broad-ranging text that covers most of the relevant topics in antenna theory providing fundamental methods of analysis that can be used to predict the electromagnetic behavior of nearly everything that radiates. This stress on the fundamentals is what makes the text valuable twenty-one years after its first publication. It not only presents the theory, but goes on to show very insightful examples of its application to real design problems.

This is the first comprehensive treatment of conformal antenna arrays from an engineering perspective. While providing a thorough foundation in theory, the authors of this publication provide a wealth of hands-on instruction for practical analysis and design of conformal antenna arrays. Thus, you get the knowledge you need, alongside the practical know-how to design antennas that are integrated into such structures aircrafts or skyscrapers.

The discipline of antenna theory has experienced vast technological changes. In response, Constantine Balanis has updated his classic text, Antenna Theory, offering the most recent look at all the necessary topics. New material includes smart antennas and fractal antennas, along with the latest applications in wireless communications. Multimedia material on an accompanying CD presents PowerPoint viewgraphs of lecture notes, interactive review questions, Java animations and applets, and MATLAB features. Like the previous editions, Antenna Theory, Third Edition meets the needs of electrical engineering and physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, and those of practicing engineers as well. It is a benchmark text for mastering the latest theory in the subject, and for better understanding the technological applications. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
