Microstrip and printed antennas offer advantages of low profile, compatibility with integrated circuit technology and conformability to a shaped surface. The results of research have contributed to the success of antennas, not only in military applications, missiles and rockets, but also in commercial areas. These areas include: mobile satellite communications, the direct broadcasting satellite system (DBS), global positioning system (GPS), remote sensing and hypothermia. This book considers recent advances in conventional areas of the subject, for example, probe-fed microstrip antennas,...

Microstrip patch antennas have become the favorite of antenna designers because of its versatility and advantages of planar profile, ease of fabrication, compatibility with integrated circuit technology, and conformability with a shaped surface. As there is currently an urgent need for graduate students and practicing engineers to gain an in-depth understanding of this subject, this book was written with this purpose in mind.The authors are IEEE Fellows who have made significant contributions to their fields of expertise. Professor K F Lee was the recipient of the 2009 John Kraus Antenna...
