Description: This is Antenna Theory - Analysis and Design, 2nd edition by Constantine A. Balanis. Published by John Wiley in 1997 with 941 pages. Pictorial hardcovers. "Anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in this area of electrical engineering should be aware that this book is one of the most widely used college textbooks on antennas, as well as one of the most often cited reference books on antennas: It has been translated into five foreign languages and according to Google Scholar, as of February 2017 it has been cited as a reference by researchers nearly 21,000 times, with more than 2,000 citations occurring in 2016 alone. If you can master most of the material in this book, you will then have the fundamental knowledge of antenna theory that is required for most entry-level positions as a researcher or engineer. "In my opinion, there are several reasons for this book's immense popularity: 1. Professor Balanis' writing style is simple, direct and to the point. This makes learning an inherently difficult and mathematically intensive subject as easy as is reasonably possible. 2. Over the years, Balanis has developed a reputation for producing very high quality college textbooks; you may also be interested in his other popular college textbook "Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics." 3. While other textbooks sometimes dedicate too much space and even entire chapters to the author's (sometimes esoteric) special area of expertise, this book avoids that pitfall and instead dedicates more space to antenna basics that should be universally important to all antenna researchers and practicing engineers. "The Latest Resource for the Study of Antenna Theory! In a discipline that has experienced vast technological changes, this text offers the most recent look at all the necessary topics. Highlights include: * New coverage of microstrip antennas provides information essential to a wide variety of practical designs of rectangular and circular patches, including computer programs. * Applications of Fourier transform (spectral) method to antenna radiation. * Updated material on moment methods, radar cross section, mutual impedances, aperture and horn antennas, compact range designs, and antenna measurements. A New Emphasis on Design! Balanis features a tremendous increase in design procedures and equations. This presents a solid solution to the challenge of meeting real-life situations faced by engineers. Computer programs contained in the book-and accompanying software-have been developed to help engineers analyze, design, and visualize the radiation characteristics of antennas..."
