Selected Topics on Antenna Synthesis

This volume provides instrumentation and tools that are essential in developing antennas with desired characteristics. In parallel to studying the problems of antennas synthesis and the methodologies used in solving them, it encourages the reader to train and strengthen the engineering style of thinking, which is of great importance for any technical developer.

The book moves away from mere repetition of the classical issues of antenna synthesis, and instead puts emphasis on synthesizing a desired amplitude radiation pattern and on optimization of the antenna’s phase pattern that allows for the elimination of the shadowing effect by a body close to the antenna, in particular.
