Millimetre wave antennas for gigabit wireless communications: a practical guide to design and analysis in a system context

Millimeter Wave Antennas for Gigabit Wireless Communications is not only a valuable design and analysis resource for antenna professionals, but also a handy reference for students and researchers in millimeter wave engineering. This essential book on the principles and applications of millimeter wave antenna offers an all-encompassing current treatment of the area, addressing both the traditional elements, such as planar antennas, and 3D antennas, and more recently emerging topics like antenna arrays, MIMO, Mega antennas, superconducting antennas, and nano-antennas. These fundamentals are related to practical applications and the dominant wireless standards, including IEEE 802.15.3c and WiMedia.
