Antenna Theory and Design

Front Cover
Wiley Global Education, Oct 16, 2012 - Technology & Engineering - 848 pages
This introduction to antenna theory and design is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate courses on the subject.

Its emphasis on both principles and design makes it perfect both as a college text and as a reference to the practicing engineer. The final three chapters on computational electromagnetics for antennas are suitable for graduate work. Stutzman provides more of a pedagogical approach than its competitors, placing a greater emphasis on a concise easily understandable presentation of fundamentals and applications as well as computational methods. This third edition has been completely revised.

New topics have been added on antennas for personal and mobile communications and base station antennas. Coverage of systems applications of antennas, arrays, microstrip and low-profile antennas, and antenna measurements has been updated and expanded, including more examples applied to modern applications.

About the author (2012)

WARREN L. STUTZMAN received his BS in electrical engineering and AB in mathematics degrees from the University of Illinois in 1964 and received MS and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Ohio State University in 1965 and 1969, respectively. Dr. Stutzman has been on the electrical engineering faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University since 1969 and has served as the director of the Antenna Group from its beginning in 1983 until 2001. He served two terms as Interim Department Head. He is currently Principal Investigator for the AWINN (Advanced Wireless Integrated Navy Network) research program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. He is co-author of the textbook Antenna Theory and Design, John Wiley, 1981 and 1998, and author of Polarization in Electromagnetic Systems, Artech House, 1993. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and served as President of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society in 1992.
