Book Description

0471449962 978-0471449966 January 14, 2003 Revised Edition
First published in 1981, Robert S. Elliott's Antenna Theory and Design is one of the most significant works in electromagnetic theory and applications. In its broad-ranging, analytic treatment, replete with supporting experimental evidence, Antenna Theory and Design conveys fundamental methods of analysis that can be used to predict the electromagnetic behavior of nearly everything that radiates. After more than two decades, it remains a key resource for students, professors, researchers, and engineers who require a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject.

In response to requests from many of our members, IEEE is now reissuing this classic. Newly revised, it once again will be an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing engineers.

The IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory offers outstanding coverage of the field. It consists of new titles of contemporary interest as well as reissues and revisions of recognized classics by established authors and researchers. The series emphasizes works of long-term archival significance in electromagnetic waves and applications. Designed specifically for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers, the series provides affordable volumes that explore and explain electromagnetic waves beyond the undergraduate level.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A Classic Reissue in the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory
Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor

"Beautifully and clearly written and of the highest technical quality."
-Dr. Robert J. Mailloux, AFRL/SNH

"A classic work in the field. There are many unique descriptions of key electromagnetic concepts discussed in this text that are not found anywhere else. The author is one of the top researchers in this field. Many of his students are also leading researchers in this field. This text has been used by many of the senior antenna engineers in industry."
-Kathleen L. Virga, University of Arizona, Tucson

About the Author

ROBERT S. ELLIOTT received a BS from Columbia University and an MS and PhD from University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and later served as the first department chairman of UCLA. He was the first person to hold the Hughes Distinguished Chair in Electromagnetics at UCLA and was the recipient of the APS Distinguished Achievement Award in 1988, as well as a half-dozen Best Teacher Awards, two Best Paper Awards from the IEEE, election to Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering. He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 1961 and in 2000 received an IEEE Third Millennium Medal. Dr. Elliott is also the author of Electromagnetics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elliott's Book is a Classic, December 13, 2000
By A Customer
Antenna Theory and Design provides a penetrating insight into the design and analysis of antennas. The book is unique in providing thorough and very readable coverage of many important topics that are not found, or are only discussed superficially, in other "similar" antenna text books.

Antenna Theory and Design is not a typical textbook that attempts to give a brief overview of every antenna possible. The topics covered in Antenna Theory and Design reflect the work of the author in his extensive career. Thus, some antennas, such as microstrip patch radiators, are barely mentioned because the author did not work on them. Other antennas, most notably the theory and practice of designing array antennas, receive thourough treatment that is not found elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maxwell Equations, May 17, 2002
By A Customer
It is a real pity that this book is out of print. What I like the most about it is the use of Maxwell Equations to proof many important Antenna Theory results such as Reciprocity and the treatment of the circuit properties of antennas. Unfortunately I have never been able to get a copy of it. Please IEEE, have you ever thought about a reprint?
