Antenna Design: A Practical Guide

This book was written to act as a guide to antenna design without the clutter of detailed mathematics. Through-out the book design examples,consisting of hard models,are used to illustrate the point rather than computer models where it is difficult to include the installation in the model. Covering the design with patient protection is described.
Design workable antennas from specifications to final testing without brain-busting mathematical calculations. Antenna Design Develop an antenna design and tweak it to get the best possible performance with the help of this useful guide. Consulting engineer George Moser shares his 35 years of design experience by focusing on the simplest,most efficient methods for designing antennas—without complicated mathematical formulas. With his help,you'll be able to take your design from specifications to a workable prototype suitable for mass production and even obtain a patent for it. Antenna Design: A Practical Guide transforms the complexities of antenna design into a practical process that takes you through the design steps from start to finish with. . A brief tutorial on how antennas work; Advice on selecting an antenna for a starting point in design; First model tests and analyzing test results; Methods for adding an extension to the antenna to provide elliptical polarization; tips on anticipating problems and working with production staff to assure a good production yield. Whether you're a design engineer who simply needs a little guidance in antenna design,a systems engineer who must provide antenna applicaitons,or production manager charged with economically mass-producting the design,you'll find all the advice youneed here.
