Presents contemporary growth in low-profile ordinary and metamaterial antennas

This booklet provides the complete diversity of low-profile antennas that use novel parts and benefit from new recommendations in antenna implementation, together with metamaterials. often shaped via developing lattices of easy components, metamaterials own electromagnetic homes now not present in certainly happening fabrics, and exhibit nice promise in a few low-profile antenna implementations. Introductory chapters outline quite a few ordinary and metamaterial-based antennas and supply the basics of writing laptop courses in response to the strategy of moments (MoM) and the finite-difference time-domain strategy (FDTDM). Chapters then talk about low-profile normal antennas categorised into base station antennas, cellular card antennas, beam-forming antennas, and satellite-satellite and earth-satellite communications antennas. ultimate chapters verify houses of low-profile metamaterial-based antennas, revealing the strengths and barriers of the metamaterial-based instantly line antenna (metaline antenna), metamaterial-based loop antenna (metaloop), open metaloop antenna, the results of counter dual-band CP radiation, and more. 

• Offers entire insurance of either metamaterials and typical fabrics for low-profile antennas
• Written by way of an internationally-recognized professional within the box of low-profile antennas
• Depicts genuine high-performance low-profile antennas for the antenna engineer
• Draws on classroom-tested fabric in graduate classes and brief classes during the last 20 years

 Low-Profile average and Metamaterial Antennas is a must have reference publication for complex undergraduate and graduate point scholars in addition to antenna engineers attracted to low-profile antenna layout theory.
