Kurzbeschreibung
Each chapter of Modern Antenna Handbook has been authored by a leading expert and includes materials about current and future antenna-related technology. The topics covered include classical antenna configurations along with advanced topics and associated designs. Material related to antennas, such as metamaterials, are reflected in the selected topics. In addition to the antenna topics, seven chapters each relate to an advanced numerical/computational method targeted primarily for the analysis and design of antennas.
The most up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of classical and modern antennas and their related technologies
Modern Antenna Handbook represents the most current and complete thinking in the field of antennas. The handbook is edited by one of the most recognizable, prominent, and prolific authors, educators, and researchers on antennas and electromagnetics. Each chapter is authored by one or more leading international experts and includes cover-age of current and future antenna-related technology. The information is of a practical nature and is intended to be useful for researchers as well as practicing engineers.
From the fundamental parameters of antennas to antennas for mobile wireless communications and medical applications, Modern Antenna Handbook covers everything professional engineers, consultants, researchers, and students need to know about the recent developments and the future direction of this fast-paced field.
In addition to antenna topics, the handbook also covers modern technologies such as metamaterials, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), frequency selective surfaces (FSS), and radar cross sections (RCS) and their applications to antennas, while five chapters are devoted to advanced numerical/computational methods targeted primarily for the analysis and design of antennas.
