DESCRIPTION:
Ground planes, essential for operation of many antenna designs, are extensively discussed.Author's extensive experience as a practicing antenna design engineer gives book a strong "hands-on" emphasisCovers antenna design techniques from very low frequency (below 300 kHz) to microwave (above 1 GHz) rangesSpecial attention is given to antenna design for mobile/portable applications such as cell phones, WiFi, etc. Small Antenna Design describes the theory behind effective small antenna design and give design techniques and examples for small antennas for different operating frequencies. Design techniques are given for the entire radio spectrum, from a very hundred kilohertz to the gigahertz range.Unlike other antenna books which are heavily mathematical and theoretical, Douglas Miron keeps mathematics to the absolute minimum required to explain design techniques. As wireless devices and systems get both smaller and more ubiquitous, the demand for effective but small antennas is rapidly increasing
An excellent book for users willing to spend time to learn This book links antenna theory with NEC and MATLAB simulations in a way I have not seen before. It does this in a very transparent way, largely avoiding complicated math, so you can really understand the underlying principles and applied math if you are willing to invest some time.The key here is that the book read together with the included CD, with scores of small utility programs, MATLAB m-files (Functions) and NEC examples, very clearly shows the underlying physics and calculations so they can be understood. Admittedly you. very practical information for small antenna analysis and design I found this book an excellent resource both as a thorough review of the mathematical techniques and the use of NEC to analyze small antenna ideas and as a compendium of both typical and novel small antenna designs.The book starts with an overview of the problem and a brisk review of E&M from Faraday onward. Mathematical techniques are reviewed for setting up integrals for the calculation of gain and radiation resistance. Vector calculus and basic related math are covered in an appendix if a refresher is required. Then a thoro. "Gap filler engineering book." according to Amazon Customer. This book will fill the gaps that others left out. It has just the right amount of math and theory to cover what I could not find in other books. This is a great companion book and can stand on its own.
The author has obviously had the experience to create this unique book." - Electronic Design, April 2006. The casual language gives way to more formal explanations where appropriate. Even though I already have a dozen antenna books in my personal library, I like this one as it adds another dimension. It is heavy on the math, but none of it is overly exotic and all of it is easily dealt with. “The book is written in a conversational style, with many first-person descriptions, historical notes and explan
