Product Description
Highly respected authors have reunited to update the well known 1981 edition which is still hailed as one of the best in its field. This edition includes recent antenna innovations and applications. It features a succinct treatment of the finite difference, time domain (FDTD) computational technique. It is also the first text to treat physical theory of diffraction (PTD).

 Great Antenna Book April 26, 2000

This is a good Antenna Book. It gives a clear introduction on how wave radiates from antenna, and gives many practical examples on how to design various antennas. I particularly like one of the design problem where a TV antenna (Yagi-Uda Antenna) can be constructed cheaply using coat hangers. Although it does not have as many examples as the antenna book by Balanis, it still covers many aspects of antenna analysis including method of moments and FDTD.
Excellent book ! October 19, 1998

Exceptional book ! Antenna Theory and Design provides many insights that have helped me in my profession. The author clarifies and simplifies complex antenna theories enabling the reader to apply the information in design. I highly recommend this book for anybody in the communication field.Mark L.

Solid, no compromise professional text. March 24, 1999

It even feels heavy ! Discones, patches, loops, rhombics - good solid theory even on the less common. A good (slightly dated) review of computer design tools. Recommended for professionals in the antenna field (no pun intended).
Excellent antenna text June 20, 2008

This is an excellent antenna text. I would say in general the heuristic explanations are very clear and a wide range of antennas are covered.
Perhaps at some points the math is glossed over just a tiny bit, and so if you're really trying to derive things along with the text, it can be a challenge to reproduce some of the results.
The introductory treatment of computational EM methods in the last few chapters is truly outstanding! I have particularly enjoyed the chapter on the method of moments -- the formulation is simplified enough so that you can code up your own toy programs. Advanced topics are mentioned as well. Very nice!
The examples are terrific! June 18, 2005

I was so glad that actual examples with the answers were included! I was able to write my own FDTD code using one of the examples!
