With the progress and rapid increase in mobile terminals, the design of antennas for these small systems is becoming more and more important. This forward-looking volume offers professionals current and comprehensive coverage of the design, development, and implementation of small, compact, and lightweight antennas in mobile communication terminals. The book discusses a wide range of communication systems, from Radio-frequency identification (RFID), and near field communications (NFC), to wireless power transmission (WPT) and broadband wireless networks. Engineers learn how to use small antennas in mobile phones, wearable systems, laptop computers, radio watches, and broadband wireless networks such as WLAN and WiMAX. This definite reference covers the critical applications today’s professionals need to understand, from antennas for IoT and antenna design for 5G mm-wave devices, to body-centric communication systems and antennas for unmanned aerial vehicles.

If you are involved in designing and developing small antennas, this complete cutting-edge guide covers everything you need to know. From fundamentals and basic theory to design optimization, evaluation, measurements and simulation techniques, all the essential information is included. You will also get many practical examples from a range of wireless systems, whilst a glossary is provided to bring you up to speed on the latest terminology. A wide variety of small antennas is covered, and design and practice steps are described for each type: electrically small, functionally small, physically constrained small and physically small. Whether you are a professional in industry, a researcher, or a graduate student, this is your essential guide to small antennas.
