IET, 1982 - Science - 720 pages
  • Authored by a multi-national group of antenna experts of international standing.
  • Presents the principles and applications of antenna design, with emphasis upon key developments in the last 15 years.
  • Fundamental background theory and analytical techniques explained in detail where appropriate.
  • Includes extensive design data and numerous examples of practical application.
  • Deals with a very wide range of antenna types, operating from very low frequencies to millimetre waves.
  • New measurement techniques described in detail.
  • Covers associated topics such as radomes, array signal processing and coaxial components.
  • Includes design data for antennas for satellite and terrestrial communications, radar, mobile communications and broadcasting.
