Antenna library – serie

Near-Field Antenna Measurements shows you how to calculate antenna gain, pattern, and beam pointing faster and more accurately than ever before. Emphasizing practical solutions to real-world problems, it presents a detailed technical overview of the theory and practice of antenna near-field measurements.

Beginning with a detailed comparison of "traditional" methods of EM field analysis, this text leads up to a step-by-step explication of the Generalized Multiple Technique (GMT).

This text attempts to give the reader an understanding of the key developments in moment methods and the early history of this development. It provides over 45 key papers in the field, many of which are from non-IEEE sources.

Tutorial in nature, this book is based on a series of papers presented at a workshop in Japan. It constitutes the first single-volume guide to the basic methods of analyzing microstrip patch antennas, and the characteristics of rectangular, circular and arbitrarily shaped patch antennas. Supported by 273 equations, tables and illustrations this book should prove a useful tool for anyone doing applied research in antennas.
