Features: This book focuses on two major topics: antennas and electromagnetic wave propagation. The book consists of 12 chapters, with the first 7 chapters covering antenna topics, each chapter focusing on the following: basic antenna theory, simple wire antennas, traveling wave antennas, non-resonant antennas, slot antennas and microstrip antennas, planar antennas, and smart antennas. The last 5 chapters cover electromagnetic wave propagation topics, each focusing on the following: basic theory of wave propagation, ground wave propagation, sky wave propagation, line-of-sight propagation, and prediction of received field strength in ground-based mobile communications. The book aims to balance a wealth of information with concise writing, keeping up with current hot technologies and applications, including smart antennas as a new technology. The numerous figures and tables demonstrate the effective use of MATLAB in the fields of antennas and wave propagation, and the appendix provides typical MATLAB programs. Keywords are accompanied by English annotations, and each chapter is supported by ┫?. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in electronic engineering and communication engineering. It can also be used by students from other disciplines and as a reference for communication and antenna engineers. To fully utilize multimedia teaching methods, this textbook is accompanied by multimedia courseware to assist in teaching the course.
