5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant grasp of my equations!, February 16, 2008

The author truly has mastered my equations and displays practical application of them to real world situations. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down! Field calculations and microstrip design can sometimes be a little dry, but the author makes it not only interesting, but fun as well. I would like to see him branch out into solving world peace and time travel next, as he seems well equipped to tackle those subjects after this etraordinary work. I wish I could give 6 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars straight out of the J.Peterman catalog...., February 19, 2008

"Oh, I'm exhausted. I've been on this street a thousand times. It's never looked so strange. The faces...so cold. In the distance a child is crying...fatherless...a bastard child, perhaps. My back aches, my heart aches, but my eyes...my eyes are resilient! Thank God I put on my reading glasses and started my CAD of Microstrip Antennas for Wireless Applications!....To think, I wasn't going to take this out of the lab..but I knew deep down inside that the toll road of denial is a long and dangerous one. The price? My soul."

1.0 out of 5 stars almost useless, May 23, 2007

This review is from: CAD of Microstrip Antennas for Wireless Applications (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library) (Hardcover)

As a designer of planar antennae I found this book to be of very little use. Designing anything more complex than a directly fed patch radiator with this book in hand, such as an EMC patch radiator or a slot-coupled one, amounts to:

1) getting very approximate numbers to say the least, running the little computer program which is provided with the book, or using the formulae from the latter,

2) patiently sliding substrate layers on top of each other while keeping a hopeful eye on the network analyser,

3) performing a lot of scalpel work; fine for GPS, a nightmare at X-band or above...

I have used decent models which have been published elsewhere in the technical litterature, for designing the aforementioned radiators, with good results. In fact Artech House, the original publisher do not even advertise this book any more!
