IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory: Low-Profile Natural and Metamaterial Antennas by Hisamatsu Nakano ebook DOC, DJV
9781118859810 1118859812 Designing a low-profile antenna brings with it a unique challenge--overcoming the inherent tendency for antenna performance to decrease as the height is decreased. Traditionally, this hurdle has been overcome using variations on common antenna elements, such as the loop, patch, spiral and helix. This book describes the next generation of low-profile antennas that use novel elements and take advantage of new concepts in antenna implementation, such as metamaterials. Metamaterials have become a topic of interest because they possess electromagnetic properties that are not found in naturally occurring materials. Metamaterials are realized artificially, typically by constructing lattices of simple elements. This unique property leads to antenna implementations that could otherwise not be realized, including a number of low-profile antenna implementations. The book covers recent progress in both natural and metamaterial antennas., Designing a low-profile antenna brings with it a unique challenge-overcoming the inherent tendency for antenna performance to decrease as the height is decreased.

The book covers recent progress in both natural and metamaterial antennas., Presents recent progress in low-profile natural and metamaterial antennas This book presents the full range of low-profile antennas that use novel elements and take advantage of new concepts in antenna implementation, including metamaterials. Typically formed by constructing lattices of simple elements, metamaterials possess electromagnetic properties not found in naturally occurring materials, and show great promise in a number of low-profile antenna implementations. Introductory chapters define various natural and metamaterial-based antennas and provide the fundamentals of writing computer programs based on the method of moments (MoM) and the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTDM). Chapters then discuss low-profile natural antennas classified into base station antennas, mobile card antennas, beam-forming antennas, and satellite-satellite and earth-satellite communications antennas. Final chapters look at various properties of low-profile metamaterial-based antennas, revealing the strengths and limitations of the metamaterial-based straight line antenna (metaline antenna), metamaterial-based loop antenna (metaloop), open metaloop antenna, the effects of counter dual-band CP radiation, and more. Offers comprehensive coverage of both metamaterials and natural materials for low-profile antennas Written by an internationally-recognized expert in the field of low-profile antennas Depicts actual high-performance low-profile antennas for the antenna engineer Draws on classroom-tested material in graduate courses and short courses over the past 20 years "Low-Profile Natural and Metamaterial Antennas" is a must-have reference book for advanced undergraduate and graduate level students as well as antenna engineers interested in low-profile antenna design theory. Hisamatsu Nakano is Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics, Science and Engineering at Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan. Professor Nakano received the 2010 Prize for Science and Technology from Japan's Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, and is the holder of 78 patents, author of over 300 papers, and a Life Fellow of the IEEE.
