Antenna Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition

The "bible of antenna engineering" fully updated to provide state-of-the-art coverage in antenna design and applications Edited by John L. Volakis, one of the world's leading authorities in antenna engineering, this trusted resource covers all the classic antenna types plus many new types and designs used in communications systems, satellites, radars, and emerging applications from WLAN to automotive systems to biomedical to smart antennas.You will also find expert discussion of topics critical to successful antenna design and engineering, such as measurement techniques and computational methods, a materials guide, wave propagation basics, microwave circuits, and matching techniques, as well as diversity and MIMO propagation models, frequency selective surfaces, and metamaterials. Packed with 1,500 illustrations, the 4th Edition of Antenna Engineering Handbook presents: Step-by-step guidance on most antennas (modern and classic) 59 chapters with 21 new chapters and 38 fully updated chapters from the previous edition Contributions from over 80 well-known antenna experts Full-color insert illustrating many commercial and military antennas Get Quick Access to All of Today's Cutting-Edge Antennas bull; Printed and Conformal Antennas bull; Wideband Patch Antennas bull; Wideband Arrays bull; Leaky-Wave Antennas bull; EBG Antennas bull; UWB Antennas and Arrays bull; Portable TV Antennas bull; Reconfigurable Antennas bull; Active Antennas bull; Millimeter Wave and TeraHertz Antennas bull; Fractal Antennas bull; Handset and Terminal Antennas bull; Biomedical Antennas bull; ECM and ESM antennas bull; Dielectric Resonator Antennas bull; Lens Antennas bull; Radiometer Antennas bull; Satellite Antennas bull; Reflector and Earth Station Antennas bull; and Dozens More!
