Handbook of Microstrip Antennas vol. 1

Authored by the international community of printed antenna specialists.

l Presents a wide ranging coverage of principles, state-of-the-art design and

up-to-date applications of microstrip antennas.

l Includes detailed explanations of a variety of analytical techniques from

transmission line theory to moments methods and their applications to CAD.

l Covers the numerous patch designs and array configurations giving many

examples of practical applications.

l Discusses microstrip technology in detail including substrates, processing

and environmental aspects.

l Addresses measurement methods particular to printed antennas such as substrate

and connector characterisation and near field probing.

l Application areas covered include antennas for satellite terrestrial and mobile

communications, conformal and aerospace antennas, phased arrays,

hyperthermia applicators and millimetric antennas.
