Antennas play important roles in many RF/microwave applications. Emerging applications such as wireless communications continue to challenge RF/microwave antennas with ever more stringent requirements-better performance, smaller size, lighter weight, lower cost and its conformability.
Microstrip Antennas for RF/Microwave Applications offers a unique and comprehensive treatment of microstrip antennas designed on curved substrate for microwave and millimeter frequency range. The book is self-contained- it is not only a valuable design source but also a handy reference for students, researchers, and engineers in microwave engineering. It can also be used for aerospace antenna education.
The outstanding features of this book include discussion of many novel microstrip antenna configurations on curved substrate with advanced antenna characteristics, new design techniques, and methods for antenna miniaturization. The book emphasizes computer analysis and synthesis through a large number of design examples.
The author is indebted to many researchers for their published works, which were rich sources of reference. Her sincere gratitude extends to the editor of the Noble Science Press and the reviewers for their support in writing the book. The help provided by other members of the staff at Noble Science Press is most appreciated. The author also wish to thank their colleagues at the MJP Rohilkhand University.
