Microstrip Antenna Design Handbook FROM THE PUBLISHER
Based on Bahl and Bhartia's popular 1980 classic, Microstrip Antennas, this all new book provides the detail antenna engineers and designers need to design any type of microstrip antenna. After addressing essential microchip antenna theory, the authors highlight current design and engineering practices, emphasizing the most pressing issues in this area, including broadbanding, circular polarization, and active microstrip antennas in particular. Special design challenges, ranging from dual polarization, high bandwidth, and surface wave mitigation, to choosing the proper substrate, and shaping an antenna to achieve desired results are all covered. With more than 400 illustrations, and over 1600 equations and analytical techniques for all types of common microstrip antennas — plus examples and design curves for quick checking — this practical handbook saves you hours of expensive design time while helping you achieve peak antenna performance. Whether your work involves antennas for electronic warfare, mobile and personal communications, or even intelligent highway systems, this comprehensive handbook strengthens your knowledge of microstrip antennas as a class, and guides you in their practical applications in modern communications systems, including those for satellite links, mobile communications and wireless local area networks.

FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Initiated as an update of Bahl and Bhartia's 1980 work, , this resource for designers took on a new form completely to accommodate the field's many new developments. It emphasizes design approaches that have lasting value among the full-wave techniques; these approaches for various antenna types center around cavity model analysis, chosen as a good compromise between accuracy and complexity. The book is organized in 12 chapters providing introductory material and covering analysis techniques; prominent antenna types such as rectangular patches, circular patches, triangular patches, dipoles, and slots; circularly polarized antennas; loaded and active (integrated) antennas; broadbanding techniques; and array antennas.
