Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design, 2nd Edition

From Book News, Inc.
A new edition of the first year graduate level introduction to the principles of antenna theory, applying them to analysis, design, and measurements. Balanis (electrical engineering, Arizona State U.) concentrates on the most basic and practical configurations, covering linear dipoles, loops, arrays, broadband and frequency-independent antennas, aperture and horn antennas, and microstrip and reflector antennas. Material on the Moment method and Fourier transform (spectral) is introduced and has been expanded in revision. The text features FORTRAN computer programs at the end of most chapters, practice problems, dimensional illustrations, and a computer program based on the Finite Difference Time-Domain method. All the computer programs are contained on the disk accompanying the volume. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.


Book Description
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 antennas provides information essential to a wide variety of practical designs of rectangular and circular patches, including computer programs.
* Applications of 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.
