Design Antennas for Modern Wireless Communications Systems

Written by a global team of expert contributors, this book offers complete details on the wide range of antennas used in today''s wireless communication networks. Coverage includes the most popular applications in WWAN (GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA), WLAN (Bluetooth and WiFi), WMAN (WiMAX), and WPAN (UWB and RFID).

Antennas for Base Stations in Wireless Communications presents a full picture of modern base station antenna technology--from fundamentals and parameters to engineering and advanced solutions--and highlights new technologies in antenna design with enhanced performance. Real-world case studies provide you with practical examples that can be applied to your own system designs.

Dedicated to a new class of wideband antenna, significantly developed over the past two decades, this book is the ultimate reference on magnetoelectric dipole antennas. The author is world-renowned for his pioneering work on antennas and has continuously developed the magnetoelectric dipole antenna since 2006. With contributions from the author and his students as well as results from research groups worldwide, the development of this novel antenna is fully captured. The theory and design are presented step-by-step, using simple technical explanations, making the contents accessible to readers without specialized training in antenna designs. Including the various applications of the antenna such as communications, global positioning, sensing, radar, medical imaging and IoT, this book endeavours to demonstrate the versatility and interdisciplinary of the antennas. Helping readers to develop sophisticated antennas with this thorough coverage on magnetoelectric dipole antennas, this is the ideal reference for graduate students, researchers, and electrical engineers.

Microstrip patch antennas have become the favorite of antenna designers because of its versatility and advantages of planar profile, ease of fabrication, compatibility with integrated circuit technology, and conformability with a shaped surface. As there is currently an urgent need for graduate students and practicing engineers to gain an in-depth understanding of this subject, this book was written with this purpose in mind.The authors are IEEE Fellows who have made significant contributions to their fields of expertise. Professor K F Lee was the recipient of the 2009 John Kraus Antenna Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. Sample Chapter(s)
