Antenna Theory: Analysis And Design (With CD)

0.0

The Third Edition of Antenna Theory is designed to meet the needs of electrical engineering and physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, and those of practicing engineers as well. The text assumes that the students have a knowledge of basic undergraduate electromagnetic theory, including Maxwell's equations and the wave equation, introductory physics, and differential and integral calculus. The third edition offers the following new material: A chapter on Smart Antennas, which is presently a hot topic and of current concern to antenna engineers in a number of varied application areas, A Fractal Antenna Section, which introduces a new class of antennas that was developed after the second edition was published New end of chapter tables that provide a summary of important equations in the respective chapters Additional new figures and tables to better illustrate some concepts An important new feature is the Multimedia Material which will be in a CD in the book. This CD presents: Power Point view graphs in color of lecture notes Animations/applets for jmost of the chapters based on JAVA Visualizations based on MATLAB Computer programs with applications to topics in the various chapters

Constantine A. Balanis received his BSEE degree from the Virginia Tech in1964, his MEE degree form from the University of Virginia in 1966,his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Ohio State University in 1969, and an Honorary Doctorate from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. From 1964 to 1970, he was with the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA, and from 1970 to 1983, he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering of West Virginia University. In 1983 he joined Arizona State University and is now Regents' Professor of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Balanis is also a Life Fellow of the IEEE. Table of Contents Preface. 1. Antennas. 2.
