Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design

WOW! I am still sifting through this book since just getting it, but it was very well packed by the seller, and new condition, as advertised. Has pretty much everything needed to design, and anayze various modern and older antenna systems. Chalked full of equations, exercises, and superbly colored diagrams and graphs. Recommended!

As an antenna researcher this is a great pick up!! Would highly recommend for all students interested in the field as this is considered one of the gold standards of antenna design!

Prof Balanis is a master in Antenna Theory. I have read previous editions and was delighted with this book. The book is not for novices. A mastery of Maxwells equations is necessary to appreciate this book, fully. The Author develops the subject from fundamentals. Each chapter is very well organized and can be read, independently. Those who have read classical texts by Kraus as well as by Schelkunoff can appreciate the completeness of this book. I have been dealing with various Antennas for several decades starting with the Friis Antenna in the 60’s and later, patch and adaptive-antennae for medical devices. This book covers various architectures from the simple dipole to the newer antennae that can be found in smart phones and GPS systems This book is a valuable addition to the armamentarium of great text books in Antenna Theory.

Balanis's antenna book is awesome! It covers topics in antenna theories comprehensively. The formulas are derived meticulously so that it's easy to follow. The fourth edition is colorful and is much more beautiful compared with previous black-and-white editions. The multimedia materials (Matlab code, ppt slides ,etc.) accompanying this textbook are carefully made and of high quality, providing additional ways that help readers understand antenna theories better. The only drawback is that Balanis relies on mathematic derivations heavily but lacks explanations that can make readers understand antenna intuitively. The shipment is very fast and the book is packaged very carefully so that no part is damaged in the long journey.

Wow, I wanted a book that started at the beginning on design of antennas. That is what I got and then some. If you have the time and patience this textbook has the information and reference for you. I will get my moneys worth and much more. There are several topics covered, and several designs as well. There are some I had no Idea about and can't wait to build on my own. I am a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator KD9DYN, and I want to design and build my own antennas. So keep this in mind when deciding on your purchase. I waited 3-4 months before I decided on this book. I am very happy that I waited and did my research.

This book suffered the worst fate of them all! The copy I received was poorly glued because every tenth (or so) page had glue on the inside, which meant those pages were glued together! The content, however, is excellent as all of Balanis's work.

Textbook style theory - suitable for anyone working with RF (including WiFi) that wants to understand base theory - is heavy on mathematics models ...

I have to use this book for school and its pretty terrible. End of the chapter questions are very difficult to answer given the contents in the chapter. I don't have any doubts it is a good reference book, but for learning it is pretty terrible.

アンテナについての知識がゼロからでも読み進められる。 Edition 4 まで改版が重ねられているだけのことはある。

Completo, scorrevole e rigoroso. Codici supplementari sul sito. Unica pecca: cambia molto poco rispetto alla terza edizione. Per il resto rimane un "must" per chi vuole studiare la disciplina delle antenne.

Bought this book to avoid reading from digital copy. Loved the book quality, pages and the hardcover.

Excelente libro, llegó un poco maltratado pero fue por el envío.
