Editorial Reviews:
|
Highly respected authors have reunited to update the well known 1981 edition which is still hailed as one of the best in its field. This edition includes recent antenna innovations and applications. It features a succinct treatment of the finite difference, time domain (FDTD) computational technique. It is also the first text to treat physical theory of diffraction (PTD).

Summary: Excellent antenna text
Comment: This is an excellent antenna text. I would say in general the heuristic explanations are very clear and a wide range of antennas are covered.
Perhaps at some points the math is glossed over just a tiny bit, and so if you're really trying to derive things along with the text, it can be a challenge to reproduce some of the results.
The introductory treatment of computational EM methods in the last few chapters is truly outstanding! I have particularly enjoyed the chapter on the method of moments -- the formulation is simplified enough so that you can code up your own toy programs. Advanced topics are mentioned as well. Very nice!

Summary: extended foray into Maxwell's Equations
Comment: The book can be considered an extended foray into the use of Maxwell's Equations. The authors show, essentially ab initio, how you can start from those equations and understand how an antenna works. And how different antennas are optimised for different purposes.
Antennas are described for both transmitting and receiving. There is also a chapter on the advanced idea of antenna synthesis. Here, one starts with a given radiation pattern, and derives a combination of antennas suitable to produce [transmit] or detect it.
The maths treatment involves extensive use of three dimensional vector analysis and surface and volume integrals. Elegant treatments. But the student had better be well prepared.

Summary: Very good computational EM reference
Comment: Used the book as reference to learn Computational Electromagnetics Methods
Customer Rating:
Summary: The examples are terrific!
Comment: I was so glad that actual examples with the answers were included! I was able to write my own FDTD code using one of the examples!

Summary: difficult to read
Comment: I studied this book for a long time. It's difficult to read.
