Antenna Theory and Design

This text provides an analytic treatment, with supporting experimental evidence, for major topics of concern to antenna designers. It also includes fundamental methods of analysis that can be used to predict the electromagnetic behavior of nearly everything that radiates. Along with theory, it includes insightful examples of its application to real design problems. · the far-field integrals, reciprocity, directivity · radiation patterns of dipoles, loops, and helices · radiation patterns of horns, slots and patch antennas · linear arrays: synthesis · planar arrays: analysis and synthesis · the design of feeding structures for antenna elements and arrays · traveling wave antennas · reflectors and lenses
