Updated with color and gray scale illustrations a companion website housing supplementary
material and new sections covering recent developments in antenna analysis and design This
book introduces the fundamental principles of antenna theory and explains how to apply them to
the analysis design and measurements of antennas. Due to the variety of methods of analysis
and design and the different antenna structures available the applications covered in this
book are made to some of the most basic and practical antenna configurations. Among these
antenna configurations are linear dipoles loops arrays broadband antennas aperture antennas
horns microstrip antennas and reflector antennas. The text contains sufficient mathematical
detail to enable undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical engineering and
physics to follow the flow of analysis and design. Readers should have a basic knowledge of
undergraduate electromagnetic theory including Maxwell's equations and the wave equation
introductory physics and differential and integral calculus. * Presents new sections on
flexible and conformal bowtie Vivaldi antenna antenna miniaturization antennas for mobile

Fourth Edition is designed to meet the needs of senior undergraduate and beginning graduate
level students in electrical engineering and physics as well as practicing engineers and
antenna designers. Constantine A. Balanis received his BSEE degree from the Virginia Tech in
1964 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 VA 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 also a life fellow of the IEEE.
