Based on the 1980 text, Microstrip Antennas, this volume offers information on designing any type of microstrip antenna. In addition to addressing essential microchip antenna theory, the authors highlight current design and engineering practices, emphasizing pressing issues such as 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. The book includes more than...

The Handbook of Antennas for EMC provides a thorough overview of both the practical and theoretical aspects of antennas in EMC systems and helps you improve your understanding of the nature and uses of antennas in these systems. The treatment throughout is sensitive to the needs of the practicing engineer, providing summaries of the underlying mathematics, while avoiding the theoretical emphasis that characterizes much of the existing literature.

This volume delivers an in-depth examination of the three basic field-theoretical methods used to aid the design of different waveguide components - the mode matching technique, the finite element method and the transmission line matrix (TLM) method.

A self-study tutorial which presents the fundamental principles and rigorous numerical validations of a major contemporary branch in frequency-domain computational electromagnetics.

This text provides techniques for use in determining electromagnetic fields in layered dielectric media. It contains problem sets and practical examples and solutions as well as a simplified method for approaching problems.

For scientists, research engineers, physicists and postgraduate students, this work introduces the essential aspects of electromagnetic waves in chiral and bi-isotropic media, to give the practical working knowledge necessary for new application development. It includes sections on effective methods of measurement, how chiral and BI media affect electromagnetic fields and wave propagation, and how to apply the theory to basic problems in waveguide, antenna and scattering analysis.

Shows how to combine physical optics modelling techniques with the free space dyadic Green's function to quickly calculate antenna patterns and diffraction from nearby objects. This work also shows how to apply basic routines to focus more time on the actual solution of antenna radiation problems.
