From the Publisher:
The recent explosion in commercial applications involving RF and microwave systems (e.g. mobile telephones) is fueling customer demand for small, low-cost, easy-to-use systems. It's also driving innovations in antenna technology. This "how-to" book explains why microstrip antennas are the ideal low-profile, low-cost solution for these commercial applications and provides the information and tools necessary to design them. Included are:
A brief description of microstrip antennas, pertinent terminology, plus analysis and modeling techniques to sharpen your insight into the operation of various elements and arrays
Step-by-step coverage of the design of various single-element radiators, including rectangular, circular, broadband, and CP patches. Interaction between design parameters and antenna performance is also discussed
An in-depth explanation of simple array design, including performance and calculations, types of array architectures, and specific design aspects
Discussion of advanced feeding techniques that provide increased design flexibility and
performance
This book comes bundles with an IBM PC-compatible diskette containing 18 stand-alone computer programs and a user-friendly guide showing sample design cases and expected results to assist in the analysis and design of specific microstrip antennas and arrays.
The design approaches, techniques, and nearly 280 equations presented here are essential information for design engineers and engineering managers involved in the design of antennas and RF/microwave circuits. This technical reference helps you develop an intuitive understanding of microstrip antenna operations - andmaster the steps necessary to create more effective designs. Product line managers and marketing managers also find this information valuable when assessing the applicability of microstrip antennas in current and future product lines.read more
