[.ca] Microstrip Antenna Design Handbook (ISBN 0890065136)

A Very Good Book on Microstrip Antennas:
First of all Amazon has the author list wrong. I have tbe book and the order is: R. Garg, P. Bhartia, I.J. Bahl and A. Ittipiboon. All the authors, particularly the first two, are are well-known in the area of microstrip antennas. This is book is the expanded version of the 1980 classic 'Microstrip Antennas' by I. J. Bhal and P. Bhartia. In this edition, the authors have done a remarkable job of exposing essentially all aspects of microstrip antennas, including the transmission line model, cavity model, generalized transmission line model, microstrip Green's functions, spectral and space domain approaches and the like. The treatment of these topics is fairly good, and whatever they have omitted in the text, have been adequately referenced by citing the appropriate sources. The book describes, the basic canonical microstrip antenna shapes such as rectangular and circular and continues on to include broadband antennas, circularly polarized antennas and arrays with a host of other topics that the serious reader shall find most invaluable. The book is bulky (running into about 850 pages), and is packed with information. The book also has a good number of appendices that are most useful for microstripline feed design. I'm currently using this book and find that this is a wonderful book for my personal library. Serious antenna engineers should consider buying it.
