Understanding Antennas & Design

By Joel R. Hallas, W1ZR

Basic Antennas Understanding Practical Antennas and Designs is a comprehensive introduction to antennas. Providing, basic concepts, practical designs, and details of easy-to-build antennas that really work!

Antennas are one of the most critical elements of a radio system, yet perhaps one of the least understood. Basic Antennas Understanding Practical Antennas and Designs is intended to assist those with a basic knowledge of radio in gaining a working knowledge of the antenna domain. This book is written in an easy to read manner and uses the minimum of mathematical concepts to allow introduction of basic principles. This book contains information on antenna impedance, transmission lines, antenna measurements and even antenna modelling. Readers will find included designs for dipole, reflector, microwave, loop and vehicle antennas. There are also wideband and multi-band antennas, Yagis for HF and VHF, two element arrays and much more.

Simply Basic Antennas Understanding Practical Antennas and Designs provides the ideal foundation in antenna theory and design for everyone interested in antenna construction.
