This work explains antenna theory and operation and is intended for students, engineers, and researchers. The material is presented in a modular format, covering the history and important advancements in antenna design and application, use of antennas in various systems such as communication, remote sensing, radar, and biomedicine; and the fundamentals of evaluation, including radiation pattern, directivity, gain, bandwidth, and polarization. Basic wire antennas and array antennas are described in detail and other types are introduced, including reflectors, lenses, horns, microstrip, Yagi, and frequency-independent antennas. Integration of antenna and detector systems and resulting technical challenges are also covered.
