  • This book is a comprehensive treatment of design techniques and test data for current compact and broadband microstrip designs
  • Summarizes the work of the author and his graduate students who have published over 80 refereed journal articles on the subject in the past few years
  • Advanced designs reported by various other prestigious antenna designers are incorporated as well


Editorial Reviews

Review

"...looks at advanced designs in the areas of compact and broadband microstrip antennas..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)

"...presents new advanced designs of this type [microstrip] antenna, offering more than 100 advanced microstrip antenna designs and their detailed experimental results." (Microwave Journal, December 2002)

From the Back Cover

Cutting-edge advanced design techniques and data for microstrip antennas

A tremendous amount of work has been done since 1997 to improve microstrip antennas in portable communication equipment. To meet the demand for an updated, single-source design reference on these recent advances, Compact and Broadband Microstrip Antennas presents over 100 advanced microstrip antenna designs and their complete experimental results. These new advanced designs are catalogued in a quick-reference format, unique to this book, through a reorganization of antenna types into two groups: compact microstrip antennas and broadband microstrip antennas.

Generously supplemented with 393 figures, the data and designs presented here have appeared in over 100 refereed journal papers in the field, including advanced designs newly reported by prestigious antenna researchers. Each chapter opens with an informative overview and concludes with listings of up-to-date resources for further reading.

Compact and Broadband Microstrip Antennas is relevant to all current design techniques and explorations of microstrip antennas. It also provides the critical groundwork for further developments in wireless communication systems by graduate students, professors, and researchers involved in microstrip antenna design.

3.0 out of 5 stars A zoology of Patch Antennas, March 28, 2004
By 
Sam Gladstone (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compact and Broadband Microstrip Antennas (Hardcover)
Not bad if you are just looking for a large collection of different types of patch antennas at a set frequency. This is a book for someone wanting to see what exists with references. It is not a book for those that want equations for the design of these antennas. You will need to find the reference and go find the design equations. The antennas size and performance info is realized for a set frequency.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable collection of patch antennas, April 4, 2005
This review is from: Compact and Broadband Microstrip Antennas (Hardcover)
This book is a collection of patch antennas for different kinds of applications. It is mainly based on the research of the author's research group. In my opinion it is a very valuable first source for antenna designers looking for a patch antenna toplogy to start their design. I have used some of these designs as a starting point for my own designs. It is too bad these 'collection books' aren't frequently published.
