The author discusses electromagnetic radiation and antenna characteristics such as impedance, radiation pattern, polarization, gain and efficiency. In addition, the book provides readers with the necessary tools for analyzing complex antennas and for designing new ones. Furthermore, a refresher chapter on vector algebra, including gradient, divergence and curl operation is included. Throughout the book ample examples of employing the derived theory are given and all chapters are concluded with problems, giving the reader the opportunity to test his\/her acquired knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the mathematical and physical background that is needed to understand electromagnetic radiation and antennas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the origin of radiation and provides an in-depth explanation of antenna parameters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores all the necessary steps in antenna analysis allowing the reader to understand and analyze new antenna structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains a chapter on vector algebra, which is often a stumbling block for learners in this field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes examples and a list of problems at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website containing solutions to the problems (for instructors) and CST modeling files (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/visser_antennas\"\u003ewww.wiley.com\/go\/visser_antennas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will serve as an invaluable reference for advanced (last year Bsc, Msc) students in antenna and RF engineering, wireless communications, electrical engineering, radio engineers and other professionals needing a reference on antenna theory.

Visser received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, in 1989.Upon graduation he joined TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory, The Hague, where he has participated in several projects concerning near-field antenna measurements, monolithic microwave integrated circuits design, and phased-array antenna design. From mid 1996 to mid 1997, he was stationed at the European Space Research and Technology Centre, RF Systems Division, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, where he worked on infinite waveguide array antenna modeling. In 2001 he joined TNO Science and Industry, Eindhoven, The Netherlands where he has been involved in antenna miniaturization and rectenna projects. In 2009 he joined imec-Netherlands where he is involved in wireless energy transfer research.  \u003cb\u003eThis comprehensive text on antenna theory explains the origin of radiation and discusses antenna parameters in-depth\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book offers an in-depth coverage of fundamental antenna theory, and shows how to apply this in practice. The author discusses electromagnetic radiation and antenna characteristics such as impedance, radiation pattern, polarization, gain and efficiency. In addition, the book provides readers with the necessary tools for analyzing complex antennas and for designing new ones. Furthermore, a refresher chapter on vector algebra, including gradient, divergence and curl operation is included. Throughout the book ample examples of employing the derived theory are given and all chapters are concluded with problems, giving the reader the opportunity to test his\/her acquired knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the mathematical and physical background that is needed to understand electromagnetic radiation and antennas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the origin of radiation and provides an in-depth explanation of antenna parameters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores all the necessary steps in antenna analysis allowing the reader to understand and analyze new antenna structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains a chapter on vector algebra, which is often a stumbling block for learners in this field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes examples and a list of problems at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website containing solutions to the problems (for instructors) and CST modeling files (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/visser_antennas\"\u003ewww.wiley.com\/go\/visser_antennas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will serve as an invaluable reference for advanced (last year Bsc, Msc) students in antenna and RF engineering, wireless communications, electrical engineering, radio engineers and other professionals needing a reference on antenna theory.
