Book description
This book focuses on new techniques, analysis, applications and
future trends of microstrip and printed antenna technologies, with
particular emphasis to recent advances from the last decade
Attention is given to fundamental concepts and techniques, their
practical applications and the future scope of developments. Several
topics, essayed as individual chapters include reconfigurable antenna,
ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, reflectarrays, antennas for RFID systems
and also those for body area networks. Also included are antennas
using metamaterials and defected ground structures (DGSs). Essential
aspects including advanced design, analysis and optimization
techniques based on the recent developments have also been addressed.
Key Features:
- Addresses emerging hot topics of research and applications in
microstrip and printed antennas
- Considers the fundamental concepts, techniques, applications and
future scope of such technologies
- Discusses modern applications such as wireless base station to
mobile handset, satellite earth station to airborne communication
systems, radio frequency identification (RFID) to body area
networks, etc.
- Contributions from highly regarded experts and pioneers from the
US, Europe and Asia
This book provides a reference for R&D researchers, professors,
practicing engineers, and scientists working in these fields. Graduate
students studying/working on related subjects will find this book as a
comprehensive literature for understanding the present and future
trends in microstrip and printed antennas.
Debatosh Guha
is Professor in Radio Physics and Electronics of the University of
Calcutta, India. He has been active in research and teaching at
post-graduate level in the areas of microwaves and antennas for last 18
years. He has published more than 100 Journal and Conference articles
and has developed CAD for various microstrip antennas, which were
reported in IEEE
and IEE Journals
. He has also developed some high gain microstrip antennas for a North
American Wireless Industry, which have been implemented as commercial products.
