Frontiers in Antennas: Next Generation Design & Engineering Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A most welcome book on recent developments in antenna theory and practice, fully justifying use of the term "Frontiers" in the title. Perhaps the closest that comes to this book in coverage of modern topics is Volakis's Handbook, now four years old. Modern applications of this classical field are emerging at a fast pace - largely spurred by the growth of wireless communications technology. In one handy volume one finds an encyclopedic coverage of modern antenna types - including ultra-wideband antenna arrays, smart antennas, Vivaldi arrays, artificial magnetic conductors, metamaterial antennas, leaky-wave antennas, plasma antennas and reconfigurable antennas; along with a select coverage of numerical modeling and optimizing techniques and of emerging applications in medicine, including ingestible capsule antennas! The book has a lovely cover and a spine that adorns my shelf along with classics like Schelkunoff and Friis, Silver, Kraus, Collin, Hansen, Stutzman and Thiele, Elliott, and Balanis, to name only a few.
The book is clearly meant for select readers - such as a graduate student with a background of EM fields and waves who is looking for a topic for research in antennas, or is in the midst of it. In general, the book will serve as a great reference for any one who has more than a casual interest in antennas.
Thanks, Dr. Gross, for bringing out such a nice book!

Antennas for Base Stations in Wireless Communications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book with the intention of really trying to learn the subject of antenna for base station. I got the book in 3-4 days (fast shipping by the book seller there) and after reading the book for 30 minutes, I have decided that the book is simply a waste of money and my time to read further. I was totally disappointed and want to warn you not to buy this book. I don't know how anyone can rate this book 5-star (or even 2-star for that matter). I would have given it a 0 star if that rating were available.
The book does not contain any theory on antenna or explains how antenna works. For any type of antenna,the book simply gives you an example of the antenna (with diagrams and sometimes photos) and shows you the radition(?) patterns. That's it. I could have gotte that information from wikipedia.
I am now looking for another antenna book to buy.
