"Beautifully and clearly written and of the highest technical quality." -Dr. Robert J. Mailloux, AFRL/SNH

"A classic work in the field. There are many unique descriptions of key electromagnetic concepts discussed in this text that are not found anywhere else. The author is one of the top researchers in this field. Many of his students are also leading researchers in this field. This text has been used by many of the senior antenna engineers in industry." -Kathleen L. Virga, University of Arizona, Tucson

First published in 1981, Robert S. Elliott's Antenna Theory and Design is one of the most significant works in electromagnetic theory and applications. In its broad-ranging, analytic treatment, replete with supporting experimental evidence, Antenna Theory and Design conveys fundamental methods of analysis that can be used to predict the electromagnetic behavior of nearly everything that radiates. After more than two decades, it remains a key resource for students, professors, researchers, and engineers who require a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject.

In response to requests from many of our members, IEEE is now reissuing this classic. Newly revised, it once again will be an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing engineers.

The authors address practical engineering issues, explain the immediate demands for existing systems; discuss the antenna technology for the latest and emerging applications, and give comprehensive coverage of hot topics in the wireless industry.  Issues including design considerations, engineering design, measurement setup and methodology, and practical applications are all covered in depth. All the chapters provide case studies to demonstrate how to implement antennas in real-world scenarios.
