Description

* A practical book written for engineers who design and use antennas
* The author has many years of hands on experience designing antennas that were used in such applications as the Venus and Mars missions of NASA
* The book covers all important topics of modern antenna design for communications
* Numerical methods will be included but only as much as are needed for practical applications
