Antenna Theory & Design by Robert S. Elliott (PDF)

Description

First published in 1981, Robert S. Elliott’s Antenna Theory and Design is one of the most significant works in electromagnetic theory and applications. In its broad-ranging, analytic treatment, replete with supporting experimental evidence, Antenna Theory and Design conveys fundamental methods of analysis that can be used to predict the electromagnetic behavior of nearly everything that radiates. After more than two decades, it remains a key resource for students, professors, researchers, and engineers who require a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject. In response to requests from many of our members, IEEE is now reissuing this classic. Newly revised, it once again will be an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing engineers.The IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory offers outstanding coverage of the field. It consists of new titles of contemporary interest as well as reissues and revisions of recognized classics by established authors and researchers. The series emphasizes works of long-term archival significance in electromagnetic waves and applications. Designed specifically for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers, the series provides affordable volumes that explore and explain electromagnetic waves beyond the undergraduate level.

Editorial Reviews: From the Inside Flap A Classic Reissue in the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor “Beautifully and clearly written and of the highest technical quality.” -Dr. Robert J. Mailloux, AFRL/SNH “A classic work in the field. There are many unique descriptions of key electromagnetic concepts discussed in this text that are not found anywhere else. The author is one of the top researchers in this field. Many of his students are also leading researchers in this field. This text has been used by many of the senior antenna engineers in industry.” -Kathleen L.

About the Author ROBERT S. ELLIOTT received a BS from Columbia University and an MS and PhD from University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and later served as the first department chairman of UCLA. He was the first person to hold the Hughes Distinguished Chair in Electromagnetics at UCLA and was the recipient of the APS Distinguished Achievement Award in 1988, as well as a half-dozen Best Teacher Awards, two Best Paper Awards from the IEEE, election to Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering. He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 1961 and in 2000 received an IEEE Third Millennium Medal. Dr. Elliott is also the author of Electromagnetics. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Without going into too many details of the different types of antennas that larger texts such as Kraus and Balanis describe, Antenna Theory & Design cover the details of antenna analysis and synthesis at a fundamental level directed at an audience of graduate students or working professionals.Chapter 1 covers the Far-Field Integrals, Reciprocity, and Directivity as they apply to single antenna elements. For those who are not satisfied with a basic treatment using retarded potentials, the Stratton-Chu Solution is also presented. The far field is calculated for both Type I (actual source) and Type II (equivalent source) antenna elements. The analysis of Type II antennas is based on the Schelkunoff Equivalence Principle.Chapters 2 & 3 describe radiation patterns of several basic types of antenna elements.I particularly liked the chapters in Part II in their treatment of Array Analysis & Synthesis. Chapter 4 covers the Analysis of linear arrays and is a precursor to Chapter 5 which covers Synthesis of linear arrays. Chapter 6 covers both Analysis & Synthesis of Planar Arrays. Rectangular grid arrays are covered as are Circular and Generalized Taylor distributions.Both Chapters 5 and 6 cover numerical techniques for the synthesis of antenna arrays.Chapter 7, the first in Part III covers Self-Impedance and Mutual-Impedance of antenna elements. Of course, the bulk of the chapter focuses on the former. Impedance is calculated based on the Method of Moments and Hallen’s Integral Equation. Mutual Impedance between pairs of elements is covered based on the impedance matrix [Z_11 Z_12; Z_21 Z_22].There are a total of 10 chapters and 8 appendicies in the text, but I found the chapters I reviewed above to be the most valuable.

⭐This book has quite the deceiving back:”Beautifully and clearly written, of the highest technical quality.”–Dr. Robert J. MaillouxThat line was likely said by the author’s friend so he could get good hand chosen reviews for his book. Honestly, this book is awful at explaining all its concepts. Equations are densely packed; however, none of them are truly explained. Through the first chapter, I saw no example problems, and in the homework section every question asks you to go back and explore the material. And by explore the material, it means to ask for an unspecific answer. As a result my teacher has used homework problems from another book, and is not even using the one his students were told to buy. I suggest you “look inside” this before you even consider reading the other reviews.In short, I have found this book to be of the horribly and aimlessly written, of the lowest technical quality.My suggestion of a better book that should help aid you in this subject matter better is the following:Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design by Balanis

⭐This book uses old fashion notation and without examples to help understanding, thus is hard to read. It is suitable for professors in EM filed, but not suitable for student and general engineers as textbook.

⭐Constantine Balanis’s book with the same title is much much better.

⭐Excellent book

⭐ほぼコンディション説明のとおりでした。本の角が曲がっていましたが、軽微なので支障なく読めます。ありがとうございました。
