The “bible of antenna engineering” fully updated to provide state-of-the-art coverage in antenna design and applications

Edited by John L. Volakis, one of the world's leading authorities in antenna engineering, this trusted resource covers all the classic antenna types plus many new types and designs used in communications systems, satellites, radars, and emerging applications from WLAN to automotive systems to biomedical to smart antennas.

You will also find expert discussion of topics critical to successful antenna design and engineering, such as measurement techniques and computational methods, a materials guide, wave propagation basics, microwave circuits, and matching techniques, as well as diversity and MIMO propagation models, frequency selective surfaces, and metamaterials. Packed with 1,500 illustrations, the 4th Edition of Antenna Engineering Handbook presents:

  • Step-by-step guidance on most antennas (modern and classic)
  • 59 chapters with 21 new chapters and 38 fully updated chapters from the previous edition
  • Contributions from over 80 well-known antenna experts
  • Full-color insert illustrating many commercial and military antennas

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Reference Book, June 22, 2011
This review is from: Antenna Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)
The breadth of topics contained in the Antenna Engineering Handbook is impressive. By virtue of the shear size of the volume, each topic is covered in detail by an expert in the specific discipline. Mr. Volakis does a good job of developing a formalism in the first chapter, complete with the requisite discussion of Maxwell's Equations and their consequences. The first chapter's rigor gives way to much more applied and empirical discussions in chapters 2-59, each with enough granularity to get the interested party off in the right direction. Highly recommended.
