Developments in Antenna Analysis and Design presents recent
developments in antenna design and modeling techniques for a wide
variety of applications, chosen because they are contemporary in nature,
have been receiving considerable attention in recent years, and are
crucial for future developments. It includes topics such as body-worn
antennas, that play an important role as sensors for Internet of Things
(IoT), and millimeter wave antennas that are vitally important for 5G
devices. It also covers a wide frequency range that includes terahertz
and optical frequencies. Additionally, it discusses topics such as
theoretical bounds of antennas and aspects of statistical analysis that
are not readily found in the existing literature.
This second volume covers the topics of: graphene-based antennas;
millimeter-wave antennas; terahertz antennas; optical antennas;
fundamental bounds of antennas; fast and numerically efficient
techniques for analyzing antennas; statistical analysis of antennas;
ultra-wideband arrays; reflectarrays; and antennas for small satellites,
viz., CubeSats.
The first volume covers the theory of characteristic modes (TCM) and
characteristic bases; wideband antenna element designs; MIMO antennas;
antennas for wireless communication; reconfigurable antennas employing
microfluidics; flexible and body-worn antennas; and antennas using
meta-atoms and artificially-engineered materials, or metamaterials
(MTMs).
The two volumes represent a unique combination of topics pertaining to
antenna design and analysis, not found elsewhere. It is essential
reading for the antenna community including designers, students,
researchers, faculty engaged in teaching and research of antennas, and
the users as well as decision makers.
