The Art and Science of Ultra-Wideband Antennas

Ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas are on the cutting edge of contemporary wireless development and are of great interest to engineers working in the areas of antenna and RF (radio frequency) system design because of the significant performance benefits associated with UWB technology. This comprehensive treatment of UWB antennas serves as an invaluable practical reference for professionals, enabling them to select the proper UWB antennas for their applications, design and analyze UWB antennas, and integrate these antennas in an RF system. Engineers find a concise discussion on UWB antenna characteristics that allows them to quickly and correctly apply them to their projects without being bogged down by unnecessary theory. What's more, the book includes a complete overview of the history and development of UWB antennas, helping practitioners to build and improve existing designs rather than reinventing them.
