Highly respected authors have reunited to update the well known 1981 edition which is still hailed as one of the best in its field. This edition includes recent antenna innovations and applications. It features a succinct treatment of the finite difference, time domain (FDTD) computational technique. It is also the first text to treat physical theory of diffraction (PTD).

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Provides a solid understanding of the underlying theories and principles as well as the information necessary for designing and building many classes of antennas. Covers the topic from three angles; antenna fundamentals, antenna techniques, and the design of various antenna types. Discusses such specialized, modern techniques as moment methods, hi-frequency techniques, and antenna synthesis. Includes several computer program source listings in FORTRAN.

Great Antenna Book,
This review is from: Antenna Theory and Design, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a good Antenna Book. It gives a clear introduction on how wave radiates from antenna, and gives many practical examples on how to design various antennas. I particularly like one of the design problem where a TV antenna (Yagi-Uda Antenna) can be constructed cheaply using coat hangers. Although it does not have as many examples as the antenna book by Balanis, it still covers many aspects of antenna analysis including method of moments and FDTD.

extended foray into Maxwell's Equations,
By
This review is from: Antenna Theory and Design, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
The book can be considered an extended foray into the use of Maxwell's Equations. The authors show, essentially ab initio, how you can start from those equations and understand how an antenna works. And how different antennas are optimised for different purposes.
Antennas are described for both transmitting and receiving. There is also a chapter on the advanced idea of antenna synthesis. Here, one starts with a given radiation pattern, and derives a combination of antennas suitable to produce [transmit] or detect it. The maths treatment involves extensive use of three dimensional vector analysis and surface and volume integrals. Elegant treatments. But the student had better be well prepared.

Excellent book !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antenna Theory and Design, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Exceptional book ! Antenna Theory and Design provides many insights that have helped me in my profession. The author clarifies and simplifies complex antenna theories enabling the reader to apply the information in design. I highly recommend this book for anybody in the communication field.Mark L.
