| Review | "Millimetre Wave Antennas for Gigabit Wireless Communications covers a vast wealth of material with a strong focus on the current design and analysis principles of millimetre wave antennas for wireless devices. It provides practising engineers with the design rules and considerations required in designing antennas for the terminal. The authors include coverage of new configurations with advanced angular and frequency filtering characteristics, new design and analysis techniques, and methods for filter miniaturisation. The book reviews up-to-date research results and utilises numerous design examples to emphasize computer analysis and synthesis whilst also discussing the applications of commercially available software." "This book serves as an excellent tool for antenna and microwave professionals (engineers, designers, and developers), wireless communications system professionals, and industries with microwave and millimetre wave research projects. Advanced students and researchers working in the field of millimetre wave engineering will also find this book of interest."--BOOK JACKET. |
