Features: Although various types of antennas can be overwhelming, they all adhere to the same fundamental principles of electromagnetic fields. This book aims to explain these principles in the simplest possible terms and provides numerous illustrations. The narrative strives for completeness and rigor, but also incorporates appropriate intuitive explanations, combining both approaches when illustrating examples. This book is a classic work on antennas, comprehensively covering all aspects of antenna theory. To meet the needs of domestic teaching, the translated edition is divided into two volumes based on the varying levels of content depth in each chapter. The first volume contains the first 12 chapters, introducing various fundamental concepts of antennas. The second volume contains the last 12 chapters, elaborating on these topics in detail. Each volume is organized separately to cater to undergraduate and graduate teaching. The book includes numerous examples and exercises to facilitate practical learning. It is richly illustrated, further aiding readers' intuitive understanding. The book incorporates many new modern applications, including the wireless revolution, and the reference list has been updated accordingly. The book features clear concepts and a well-structured organization. Whether readers need a one-semester course covering only the basic knowledge of antennas or more in-depth study, this book provides practical assistance. It can serve as a teaching text for undergraduate and graduate students in relevant disciplines, as well as a reference for engineering and technical personnel.
