Antennas and Wave PropagationAntennas and Wave Propagation is written for the first course on the same. The book begins with an introduction that discusses the fundamental concepts, notations, representation and principles that govern the field of antennas. A separate chapter on mathematical preliminaries is discussed followed by chapters on every aspect of antennas from Maxwell's equations to antenna array analysis, antenna array synthesis, antenna measurements and wave propagation. |
