<br/><br/> It includes index.<br/><br/>The Third Edition of Antenna Theory is designed to meet the needs of electrical engineering and physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, and those of practicing engineers as well. The text assumes that the students have a knowledge of basic undergraduate electromagnetic theory, including Maxwells equations and the wave equation, introductory physics, and differential and integral calculus.<br/><br/>The third edition offers the following new material:<br/><br/>·A chapter on Smart Antennas, which is presently a "hot" topic and of current concern to antenna engineers in a number of varied application areas,<br/>·A Fractal Antenna Section, which introduces a new class of antennas that was developed after the second edition was published<br/>·New end of chapter tables that provide a summary of important equations in the respective chapters<br/>·Additional new figures and tables to better illustrate some concepts<br/>.An important new feature is the Multimedia Material which will be in a CD in the book. This CD presents:<br/>·Power Point view graphs in color of lecture notes<br/>·Animations/applets for most of the chapters based on JAVA<br/>·Visualizations based on MATLAB<br/>·Computer programs with applications to topics in the various chapters<br/>A device that radiates and/or receives radio waves. The same antenna can usually be used for both transmission and reception. There are many types of antennas, their selection depending on the uses and operating frequencies desired.<br/>Antennas have important applications in communications, radar, remote sensing, and radio astronomy.<br/><br/>Contents<br/><br/>Preface.<br/><br/>1.
