Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory

Understand the theory and function of wireless antennas with this comprehensive guide

As wireless technology continues to develop, understanding of antenna properties and performance will only become more critical. Since antennas can be understood as junctions of waveguides, eigenmode analysis—the foundation of waveguide theory, concerned with the unexcited states of systems and their natural resonant characteristics—promises to be a crucial frontier in the study of antenna theory.

Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory incorporates the modal analysis, generic antenna properties and design methods discovered or developed in the last few decades, not being reflected in most antenna books, into a comprehensive introduction to the theory of antennas. This book puts readers into conversation with the latest research and situates students and researchers at the cutting edge of an important field of wireless technology.

The book also includes:

Detailed discussions of the solution methods for Maxwell equations and wave equations to provide a theoretical foundation for electromagnetic analysis of antennas
Recent developments for antenna radiation in closed and open space, modal analysis and field expansions, dyadic Green’s functions, time-domain theory, state-of-the-art antenna array synthesis methods, wireless power transmission systems, and more
Innovative material derived from the author’s own research

Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory is ideal for graduate or advanced undergraduate students studying antenna theory, as well as for reference by researchers, engineers, and industry professionals in the areas of wireless technology.
