Provides information needed to design millimeter-wave microstrip and printed circuit antennas from analysis methods and materials selection to antennas for particular applications. Special focus is given to the issues that impact the ability to scale microwave frequency designs to the millimeter-wav

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...
