CD presents PowerPoint viewgraphs of lecture notes, interactive review questions, Java animations and applets, and MATLAB features. Like the previous editions, Antenna Theory, Third Edition meets the needs of electrical engineering and physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, and those of practicing engineers as well. It is a benchmark text for mastering the latest theory in the subject, and for better understanding the technological applications. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

From the Back Cover

The new edition of a classic resource for the study of antenna theory, updated with Multimedia Material The discipline of antenna theory has experienced vast technological changes. In response, Constantine Balanis has updated his classic text, Antenna Theory, offering the most recent look at all the necessary topics. Like the previous editions, Antenna Theory, Third Edition is designed to meet the needs of electrical engineering and physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, and those of practicing engineers as well. The text assumes that the readers have a knowledge of basic undergraduate electromagnetic theory, including Maxwell's equations and the wave equation, introductory physics, and differential and integral calculus.
The Third Edition offers new material that includes:

• A chapter on smart antennas, which is presently a hot topic of current interest to antenna engineers in a number of application areas, especially wireless communication
• A fractal antenna section, which introduces a new class of antennas that has received a lot of interest and attention after the second edition was published
• New end-of-chapter tables that provide a summary of important equations in each of the respective chapters
• Additional new figures, photos, and tables to better illustrate concepts
• Additional end-of-the-chapter problems

An important new feature is the multimedia material on the accompanying CD, which presents:

• PowerPoint view graphs of lecture notes
• End-of-the-chapter interactive questions for revie
• Animations and applets for most of the chapters based on Java
• Second-edition FORTRAN computer programs translated to MATLAB®
• Additional new computer programs based on MATLAB® with applications to topics in the various chapters

About the Author

CONSTANTINE A. BALANIS received his BSEE degree from Virginia Tech in1964, his MEE degree from the University of Virginia in 1966, his PhD in electrical engineering from The Ohio State University in 1969, and an honorary doctorate from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2004. From 1964 to 1970, he was with the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and from 1970 to 1983, he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering of West Virginia University. In 1983, he joined Arizona State University and is now Regents' Professor of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Balanis is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and the author of Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics, also published by Wiley.
