Frontiers in Antennas: Next Generation Design & Engineering

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Resource to the Antenna Design Frontier

By Frank Parks - January 30, 2012

This is a great antenna book that guides us through the latest advances in antenna technology. Many recent books cover novel antennas at great depth; however, this book takes a broad approach aimed at identifying and presenting recent antenna innovations from the viewpoint of leading experts while still providing extensive technical depth.

I particularly like the many chapters that have a good balance of theory and numerical analysis supported by real hardware and measurements. The comprehensive list of references at the end of each chapter is quite valuable, and a big time saver.

Since customers are constantly challenging us to reduce antenna size and profile, this collection of diverse antenna knowledge in a single book is very much appreciated. For many years to come, "Frontiers in Antennas" will be a valuable reference for the antenna engineer pushing the state-of-the-art.

A most timely book on antenna trends

By Rajendra Arora - August 7, 2011

A most welcome book on recent developments in antenna theory and practice, fully justifying use of the term "Frontiers" in the title. Perhaps the closest that comes to this book in coverage of modern topics is Volakis's Handbook, now four years old. Modern applications of this classical field are emerging at a fast pace - largely spurred by the growth of wireless communications technology. In one handy volume one finds an encyclopedic coverage of modern antenna types - including ultra-wideband antenna arrays, smart antennas, Vivaldi arrays, artificial magnetic conductors, metamaterial antennas, leaky-wave antennas, plasma antennas and reconfigurable antennas; along with a select coverage of numerical modeling and optimizing techniques and of emerging applications in medicine, including ingestible capsule antennas! The book has a lovely cover and a spine that adorns my shelf along with classics like Schelkunoff and Friis, Silver, Kraus, Collin, Hansen, Stutzman and Thiele,... read more

Great breadth and depth of the latest antenna topics!

By nathan brooks - January 11, 2012

I am very impressed by the subject matter that this book covers. From antennas that are ingestible to antennas that are reconfigurable, the breadth of this book includes some of the most cutting edge antenna technologies. Several advanced antenna types are discussed in the ultra-wide bandwidth antenna chapter including fractal antennas. And the most interesting for me is that of plasma antennas. However, it isn't just new antenna types that are discussed. Pioneering advancements in more conventional antennas such as Vivaldi and leaky wave antennas are included and help to thoroughly define the frontier of antenna technology today.

In addition, this book provides a depth into each subject that rivals that of books devoted solely to one topic. Design techniques, modeling and simulation examples, electro-magnetic theory of operation, and applications are all presented. The smart antenna chapter delves deeply into many theoretical and practical algorithms to exploit the latest... read more
