Compact Multifunctional Antennas for Wireless Systems

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Compact multi-function antennas are of great interest in the field of antennas and wireless communication systems. Multi-Function Antennas for Microwave Wireless Systems offers an up-to-date description of modern multi-function antenna systems and microwave components. This valuable resource for professional engineers discusses circuit miniaturization techniques, such as the low-temperature-cofired-ceramic, system-on-package, and system in package as well as design considerations of the frequency- and pattern-reconfigurable antennas. Case studies are provided for both planar and nonplanar antennas.

Offers an up-to-date description of modern multifunctional antenna systems and microwave components
Compact multifunctional antennas are of great interest in the field of antennas and wireless communication systems, but there are few, if any, books available that fully explore the multifunctional concept. Divided into six chapters, Compact Multifunctional Antennas for Wireless Systems encompasses both the active and passive multifunctional antennas and components for microwave systems. It provides a systematic, valuable reference for antenna/microwave researchers and designers.
Beginning with such novel passive components as antenna filters, antenna packaging covers, and balun filters, the book discusses various miniaturization techniques for the multifunctional antenna systems. In addition to amplifying and oscillating antennas, the book also covers design considerations for frequency- and pattern-reconfigurable antennas. The last chapter is dedicated to the field of solar cell integrated antennas.
Inside, readers will find comprehensive chapters on:
Compact Multifunctional Antennas in Microwave Wireless Systems
Multifunctional Passive Integrated Antennas and Components
Reconfigurable Antennas
Receiving Amplifying Antennas
Oscillating Antennas
Solar cell integrated Antennas
Aimed at professional engineers and researchers designing compact antennas for wireless applications, Compact Multifunctional Antennas for Wireless Systems will prove to be an invaluable tool.
