Antenna Engineering Theory And Problems (Hb 2017) Hardcover

This book explores both theoretical and experimental research in the field of antennas, grounded in electromagnetic theory. It begins with an in-depth examination of thin antennas, a fundamental type of radiator, making their theory a cornerstone of antenna analysis. A key focus is the Leontovich-Levin integral equation for current along a straight, thin-walled metal cylinder, which is equivalent to Hallen’s equation with a precise kernel. Alongside analyzing various antenna types, the book delves into synthesis techniques, including the development of wide-band radiators by strategically determining the types and magnitudes of concentrated loads along a linear radiator to achieve high electrical performance across a given frequency range. The latter part of the book addresses practical challenges in antenna engineering, such as applying compensation methods to protect humans from radiation exposure and examining the structural characteristics of ship antennas.
