Features: This book is divided into two major parts, containing a total of 12 chapters, and primarily introduces the fundamental theories of antennas and electromagnetic wave propagation. The antenna section covers the principles of antenna transmission and reception, antenna characteristic parameters, dipole antennas, antenna arrays, image theory, the principle of directivity multiplication, and the applications of antennas. The electromagnetic wave propagation section includes three basic propagation modes—skywave, space wave, and surface wave—as well as several commonly used basic propagation models. Additionally, it introduces the methods and principles of mobile communication field strength testing and examples of predicting electromagnetic wave propagation characteristics. This book is suitable as a textbook for university courses on antennas and electromagnetic wave propagation in communication and low-voltage engineering majors, as well as a reference book for graduate students and a wide range of engineering technicians.
