Edited by John L. Volakis, an authority in antenna engineering, this trusted resource covers
classic antennas plus new designs in communications systems, satellites
and radar.
There is expert discussion critical to antenna engineering, such as measurement
and computational methods, a materials guide, wave
propagation microwave circuits, and matching techniques,
as well as diversity and MIMO propagation models, frequency
selective surfaces, and metamaterials. With 1,500
illustrations, the 4th Edition of Antenna Engineering
Handbook presents:
- Step-by-step guidance on current and classic antennas
- 59 chapters, with 21 new chapters and 38 updated
chapters from the previous edition
- Contributions from over 80 antenna experts
- Full-color illustrations of many commercial and
military antennas
