Review title: extended foray into Maxwell's Equations
Product review: The book can be considered an extended foray into the use of Maxwell's Equations. The authors show, essentially ab initio, how you can start from those equations and understand how an antenna works. And how different antennas are optimised for different purposes.Antennas are described for both transmitting and receiving. There is also a chapter on the advanced idea of antenna synthesis. Here, one starts with a given radiation pattern, and derives a combination of antennas suitable to produce [transmit] or detect it.The maths treatment involves extensive use of three dimensional vector analysis and surface and volume integrals. Elegant treatments. But the student had better be well prepared.
