Antennas: Fundamentals, design, measurement PDF

This is a senior undergraduate or first-year graduate level textbook on antenna fundamentals, design, performance analysis, and measurements. In addition to its use as a formal course textbook, it is well-suited for professional training and self-study by practicing engineers, scientists, and technologists who desire to expand their knowledge of antennas. The book provides a broad coverage of antenna types and phenomena, for operations at very low radio frequencies, as well as frequencies up to those of submillimeter wavelengths. Unlike most university-level antenna textbooks, it does not require prior skills in electromagnetic theory, sophisticated mathematics, or computer programming. An additional feature is the downloadable collection of computer solutions in both Mathcad® and MATLAB® to numerous antenna radiation examples, which can be easily implemented and revised by persons not having prior programming experience.
