Antenna and Wave Propagation (Paperback)

Living in a world that is practically incomplete without technologies like radar, satellite, wireless, etc., Antenna and Wave Propagation helps the readers understand the fundamentals behind these areas of technology. The book develops an innate sense of understanding of the underlying principles of the subject, exposing them simultaneously to the most updated technology. The highlight of this book is its explanation of concepts through everyday application areas, such as dish antennae, cell phones, etc., along with actual photographs, wherever necessary. Antenna and Wave Propagation aims to create awareness amongst its readers, and to help them prepare for this rapidly developing and exciting field of study and research.

Salient Features
* Emphasis on 2D measurements and antenna design aspects.
* Explanation of concepts through everyday application areas with actual photographs and numerous illustrations.
* MATLAB examples added within text.
