Written for novice engineers and engineering students, this easy-to-comprehend resource offers you thorough introductory-level treatment of antenna analysis using electromagnetic (EM) simulators. This richly-illustrated book shows you how to use EM software to analyze and tune wireless antennas to meet specific requirements. You learn important wireless antenna design terminology and gain a detailed understanding of how antennas work. Moreover, the book offers you guidance in troubleshooting problems with wireless antenna designs. This authoritative reference also provides you with a complete overview of the many different kinds of antennas and related EM tools. DVD Included: Contains Sonnet electromagnetics analysis software, featuring example files that are described and illustrated in the book.
