WAVE PROPAGATION AND ANTENNA ENGINEERING-------PHI
Description:
The book is primarily
designed to cater to the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate
students of Electronics and Communication Engineering and allied
branches. It also caters for fundamental requirements of
professionals working on design and development of antenna and wave
propagation related equipment either in research laboratories or
industries or academic institutions elsewhere.
The book has been written with intent to grasp the basic understanding
of theoretical as well as practical aspects of electromagnetic wave
propagation and antenna engineering. The text has been aptly scripted
considering the requirements of average students who can easily grasp
and comprehend the basics of wave propagation and radiation mechanism of
varieties of antennas coupled with their critical functionalities,
utilities, advantages/disadvantages without any external assistance of
teachers or other reference books. The book broaches very well on
practical methods of parametric measurements of antenna with right
measuring test equipment and associated tools. The last chapter of the
book is dedicated to advance technology adopted in design and
development of modern antenna.
