Practical, concise and complete reference for the basics of
modern antenna design

Antennas: from Theory to Practice discusses the basics of
modern antenna design and theory. Developed specifically for
engineers and designers who work with radio communications, radar
and RF engineering, this book offers practical and hands-on
treatment of antenna theory and techniques, and provides its
readers the skills to analyse, design and measure various
antennas.

Key features:

* Provides thorough coverage on the basics of transmission lines,
radio waves and propagation, and antenna analysis and design

* Discusses industrial standard design software tools, and
antenna measurement equipment, facilities and techniques

* Covers electrically small antennas, mobile antennas, UWB
antennas and new materials for antennas

* Also discusses reconfigurable antennas, RFID antennas,
Wide-band and multi-band antennas, radar antennas, and MIMO
antennas

* Design examples of various antennas are provided

* Written in a practical and concise manner by authors who are
experts in antenna design, with experience from both academia and
industry

This book will be an invaluable resource for engineers and
designers working in RF engineering, radar and radio
communications, seeking a comprehensive and practical introduction
to the basics of antenna design. The book can also be used as a
textbook for advanced students entering a profession in this
field.

Dr Yi Huang, Liverpool, UK Yi Huang received the BSc in Physics from Wuhan University and MSc in RF/Microwave Engineering from Nanjing, China in 1984 and 1987 respectively, and a DPhil in Communications and Electromagnetics from the University of Oxford in 1993. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering & Electronics, University of Liverpool in 1995, where he is now a Senior Lecturer in RF/Microwave Engineering. Dr Huang's main research interests are antennas, radio propagation, computational electromagnetics, EMC, electromagnetic measurements, ground penetrating radar, medical imaging, software radio, and indoor wireless communications. He has published over 100 research papers and provided technical consultancy to industry on many occasions. Dr Kevin Boyle, UK Kevin Boyle has been employed within the Wireless Systems Group of Philips Research Laboratories (PRL), Redhill since 1997, where he is currently a Principal Research Scientist and a Project Leader for antenna and propagation related activities. His areas of interest include antenna design for mobile communication systems, diversity, propagation modelling and related areas of mobile system design. Prior to joining PRL he was with Marconi Communications Systems Ltd. from 1989 to 1997 working on all aspects of antenna system design from LF to UHF.
