<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Building upon the success of the first edition, this book covers the important and timely issues involving modern practical antenna design and theory. Developed specifically for university students, engineers and designers who work with radio frequency (RF) engineering, radar and radio communications. The book will cover a) the basics of transmission lines, radiowaves and propagation, and antenna theory; b) antenna analysis and design using the basic antenna theory and industrial standard design software tools; c) antenna measurement equipment, facilities and techniques; d) some special topics, such as mobile antennas and antenna diversity, wide-band and multi-band antennas, electrically small antennas, radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas, ultra-wide band (UWB) antennas, reconfigurable antennas, multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, radar antennas, smart antennas, terahertz (THz) antennas, nano antennas, and rectennas for wireless power transmission and energy harvesting. New to this edition: Adaptive Impedance Matching, Dipoles and Electrical Antennas, Loops and Magnetic Antennas, Antenna Measurement Facilities, Radiation Pattern Measurements, Efficiency Measurements, RFID Antennas, Smart Antennas, MIMO Antennas, Dielectric Resonant Antennas, On-body and In-body Antennas, THz Antennas, Nano Antennas, Radar Antennas, and Rectennas for Wireless Power transmission and Energy Harvesting"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Antennas</b> From Theory to Practice <p><b>Comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and latest developments in antennas and antenna design</b> <p>In the newly revised Second Edition of <i>Antennas: From Theory to Practice, </i>renowned researcher, engineer, and author Professor Yi Huang delivers comprehensive and timely coverage of issues in modern antenna design and theory. Practical and accessible, the book is written for engineers, researchers, and students who work with radio frequency/microwave engineering, radar, and radio communications. <p>The book details the basics of transmission lines, radiowaves and propagation, antenna theory, antenna analysis and design using industrial standard design software tools and the theory of characteristic modes, antenna measurement equipment, facilities, and techniques. It also covers the latest developments in special topics, like small and mobile antennas, wide- and multi-band antennas, automotive antennas, RFID, UWB, metamaterials, reconfigurable and MIMO antennas, and more. <p>The new edition includes up to date information on a wide variety of newly relevant topics and trends, like adaptive impedance matching, the theory of characteristic modes, antenna materials and fabrication processes, and over-the-air (OTA) antenna system measurements. Many questions and examples are provided which enhances the -learning experience. <p>The book covers: <ul><li>An introduction to circuit concepts and transmission lines, including lumped and distributed element systems, transmission line theory, and the Smith Chart</li> <li>An exploration of field concepts and radiowaves, including wave equations and solutions and radiowave propagation mechanisms, characteristics, and models</li> <li>Discussions of antenna basics and popular antennas, including wire-type antennas, aperture-type antennas, and antenna arrays</li> <li>Information about antenna manufacturing and measurements, including antenna measurement facilities and methods</li> <li>The use of industrial standard simulation tools for antenna design and analysis</li></ul> <p>Perfect for engineers and researchers who work in RF engineering or radar and radio communications, <i>Antennas: From Theory to Practice, </i> Second Edition will also earn a place on the bookshelves of university students seeking a concise and practical introduction to the basics of antennas and antenna design.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Yi Huang, Fellow of IEEE and IET, </b> is Head of High Frequency Engineering Group at the University of Liverpool, UK.
