Product Description

Product Description
The Latest Resource for the Study of Antenna Theory! In a discipline that has experienced vast technological changes, this text offers the most recent look at all the necessary topics. Highlights include:
∗ New coverage of microstrip antennas provides information essential to a wide variety of practical designs of rectangular and circular patches, including computer programs.
∗ Applications of Fourier transform (spectral) method to antenna radiation.
∗ Updated material on moment methods, radar cross section, mutual impedances, aperture and horn antennas, compact range designs, and antenna measurements.
A New Emphasis on Design! Balanis features a tremendous increase in design procedures and equations. This presents a solid solution to the challenge of meeting real–life situations faced by engineers. Computer programs contained in the book–and accompanying software–have been developed to help engineers analyze, design, and visualize the radiation characteristics of antennas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well organized and easy to follow, 16 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Antenna Theory (Hardcover)
I used this book in a graduate Antennas course. I found it to be well organized and the most thorough of the three books on this subject I have used. Equations and their derivations were easy to follow. Problems were clear and followed the level of introduction in the text. All necessary material was clearly introduced. I would recommend this text to any professor looking for a good solid antennas text.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very pedagogical, 19 Nov 2003
By A Customer
Balanis makes some serious pedagogical mistakes when he uses concepts before defining them. He also have some problems with coordinate systems. For example he is using spherical coordinate systems on the poles. This makes me confused. It may be a nice book for an engineer but not for a physicist.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor - not for beginers., 11 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I bought this book hoping to learn from scratch about antennas and how they work - it failed. This book is not for beginers. Balanis makes serious assumptions about the reader and without a good knowledge of anntennas it is very difficult to follow. There is a lot of math from which he draws conclusions which are not obvious.
