Visser Hubregt J. Approximate Antenna Modeling for CAD

Wiley, 2009. — 320 p. — ISBN-10: 0470512938. — ISBN-13: 978-0470512937.His step-by-step guide provides the reader with a detailed and thorough introduction to practical antenna design and model implementation
In this book, Hubregt J. Visser provides an introduction to the fundamentals of antenna design and the implementation of design models. A variety of antennas for wireless applications and communications systems are explained, and the real-life use of the antennas is demonstrated through extensive use of application examples. The author includes discussions on the design process of several antennas, such as intravascular MR Antennas, PCB antennas, RFID antennas, rectennas etc. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on Computer Aided Design (CAD) using approximated models.The history of Antennas and Antenna Analysis.
