A one-stop reference to the design and analysis of nonplanar microstrip structures. Owing to their conformal capability, nonplanar microstrip antennas and transmission lines have been intensely investigated over the past decade. Yet most of the accumulated research has been too scattered across the literature to be useful to scientists and engineers working on these curved structures. Now, antenna expert Kin-Lu Wong compiles and organizes the latest research results and other cutting-edge developments into an extensive survey of the characteristics of microstrip antennas mounted on canonical nonplanar surfaces. Demonstrating a variety of theoretical techniques and deducing the general characteristics of nonplanar microstrip antennas from calculated results, Wong thoroughly addresses the problems of cylindrical, spherical, and conical structures and gives readers powerful design and optimization tools. Up-to-date topics range from specific applications of spherical and conical microstrip arrays to the curvature effects on the analysis of cylindrical microstrip lines and coplanar waveguides. With 256 illustrations and an exhaustive list of references, Design of Nonplanar Microstrip Antennas and Transmission Lines is an indispensable guide for antenna designers in wireless and personal communications and in radar systems, and an invaluable reference for researchers and students interested in this important technology.

The latest text in the Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering The first comprehensive resource on planar antenna designs Planar antennas are the newest generation of antennas, boasting such attractive features as low profile, light weight, low cost, and ease of integration into arrays. These features make them ideal components of modern communications systems, particularly in cellular and WLAN applications. Consequently, many novel designs of planar antennas for related applications have come into being within the last two to three years. Until now these designs were only accessible to current and prospective antenna designers through journal articles, conference papers, and patent descriptions. Planar Antennas for Wireless Communications organizes today’s most important planar antenna designs into one easy-to-use reference. In this, the latest addition to the Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering, the author presents more than seventy advanced planar antenna designs, along with detailed design considerations and experimental results, including: *PIFAs for internal mobile phone antennas *Very-low-profile monopoles for internal mobile phone antennas *Base-station antennas for cellular systems *Planar antennas for WLAN applications *DR antennas for wireless communications *Integration of antennas for different operating bands Each chapter features a multitude of illustrations for the geometries and experimental results of the featured designs, as well as a complete list of related references for further study, making the book an invaluable design resource for antenna scientists and engineers alike.

Cutting-edge advanced design techniques and data for microstrip antennas A tremendous amount of work has been done since 1997 to improve microstrip antennas in portable communication equipment. To meet the demand for an updated, single-source design reference on these recent advances, Compact and Broadband Microstrip Antennas presents over 100 advanced microstrip antenna designs and their complete experimental results. These new advanced designs are catalogued in a quick-reference format, unique to this book, through a reorganization of antenna types into two groups: compact microstrip antennas and broadband microstrip antennas. Generously supplemented with 393 figures, the data and designs presented here have appeared in over 100 refereed journal papers in the field, including advanced designs newly reported by prestigious antenna researchers. Each chapter opens with an informative overview and concludes with listings of up-to-date resources for further reading. Compact and Broadband Microstrip Antennas is relevant to all current design techniques and explorations of microstrip antennas. It also provides the critical groundwork for further developments in wireless communication systems by graduate students, professors, and researchers involved in microstrip antenna design.
