This book is an excellent resource that has withstood the test of time. The book does not assume that the reader is familiar with the material and thus avoids the pitfall of glossing over important material.

This is the premier handbook for antenna engineering and design. Full of excellent illustrations and mind-numbing math, this provides the working engineer as well as the serious student something to trudge through for months. Readers will find that the coursework is covered in a very methodical fashion, this book provides a strong background for antenna design, engineering, and prototyping.

I want to review books obout radar systems and radar detection and curcuits of radar detector if it is avaliable for my project to grduate from collage of electrical engineering

This book gives a very complete, authoritative and up-to-date treatment of acoustic and electromagnetic fields generated by bounded sources from several intertwined viewpoints: (a) their representations by volume sources and by "Huygens sources" distributed over a surface enclosing the source region, (b) plane-wave spectra, (c) far fields, and (d) far-field radiation patterns. When field measurements are made in a plane outside the source region, the plane-wave spectral representation lends itself naturally to correcting for the characteristics of the probe performing the measurements to compute the true fields beyond the scan plane. This explains the subtitle "Near-field Scanning Applications." Throughout the book, the scalar (acoustic) and vector (electromagnetic) cases are treated in tandem, with the acoustic case usually preceding the algebraically more complicated electromagnetic case.

Whereas the above topics have been the subject of a number of previous studies, the novelty of the present approach is in examining them thoroughly in the time domain as well as the frequency domain. The time-domain formulations are derived in two ways: by Fourier transforming the corresponding frequency-domain expressions, and then directly in the time domain from the properties of Green functions. The identity of the results, sometimes after long and difficult mathematical manipulations, helps the reader gain confidence in the final product even if she or he was unable to follow all the details of the derivation. As a mathematician, I was especially impressed by the consistently rigorous level of the treatments. Although mathematical rigor is sometimes dismissed by engineers as largely academic, the authors give ample demonstrations of its practical necessity. For example, the proof in Sections 6.1.1 (or 7.1.3) that the probe output solves the homogeneous Helmholtz equation (or wave equation) outside the region occupied by the sources and the probe is a case study of the need to justify bringing partial differential operators under an integral sign, as a sloppy treatment simply leads to the wrong conclusion that the homogeneous equation is satisfied in all of space!

The book ends with some practical considerations on sampling and numerical applications of the foregoing results.

Offers complete coverage of the specialized area of polarization in
electromagnetic systems. The only clear expose of polarization effects in
electromagnetic systems, this "hands on" design treatment doesn't require an
extensive background in physics or mathematics to understand.

CONTENTS: Wave polarization principles; polarization state representations;
partially polarized waves; antenna-wave interaction; dual-polarized systems;
depolarized media and system applications. ...

This book was recommended to me by my first elmer as "The book every amateur should have on his shelf." and he was right. Walter Maxwell is probably the equal of any antenna expert. He dispells a lot of myths and makes sense of what can sometimes seem almost too much information. If you have only one antenna book this is the one, and maybe the only one, you will need.

Excellent book with deep insight into coupling area of microwave world. From microwave network theory, characteristics of planar transmission lines to exact explanations of uniformly coupled lines, broadband forward-wave directional couplers, parallel-coupled TEM directional couplers , nonuniform broadband TEM directional couplers ... You can also find theory for developement of coupled-line filters, baluns , problematics of multiconductor transmission lines and high-speed interconnections. This is bible for coupling structures in many ways. It is very applicable as base for calculating and developement of any kind of real couplers. Very interesting and helpfull. It is a little bit more theoretical with a lack of enough practical calculations, but always explainable to deepest basement of problematics. Book for bookshelf in microwave lab.

I am a doctoral student with no much money. I am working at Xidian University in China. My reseach interest focuses on smart antenna and numerical algorithms. I need your help very much!

This is probably the only book of its kind on the market. It cuts through the myths and marketing hype with unquestionable accuracy. It's a must-read for any CBer that experiments with antennas or just wants to know the truth.

It also gets into propagation (the way radio signals behave), SWR (something few CBers trully understand), gain (the truth and the advertising hype), building your own antennas (with outlined projects including a four element "monster quad"), grounding, lightning protection, matching systems, TVI, coax, and even tips on soldering. And all of it is well written and easy to understand. (A full glossary is included.)

In my opinion (based on 18 years in the CB field) no other book handles this subject more completely or accurately. This book is really a cheap education for any CBer that wants to learn the ins and outs of antennas as well as many other things related to radio. And, if this wasn't enough, sprinkled throughout you'll find a number of humorous pictures and comments which makes the book just that much easier to read and learn from. After your first pass through this book you'll know more than 90% of the CBers out there, and what will seem even more amazing is how easy the learning was when you used the right tool!
