Description

A one-stop reference to the design and analysis of nonplanarmicrostrip structures. Owing to their conformal capability, nonplanar microstripantennas and transmission lines have been intensely investigatedover the past decade. Yet most of the accumulated research has beentoo scattered across the literature to be useful to scientists andengineers working on these curved structures. Now, antenna expert Kin-Lu Wong compiles and organizes thelatest research results and other cutting-edge developments into anextensive survey of the characteristics of microstrip antennasmounted on canonical nonplanar surfaces. Demonstrating a variety oftheoretical techniques and deducing the general characteristics ofnonplanar microstrip antennas from calculated results, Wongthoroughly addresses the problems of cylindrical, spherical, andconical structures and gives readers powerful design andoptimization tools. Up-to-date topics range from specific applications of sphericaland conical microstrip arrays to the curvature effects on theanalysis of cylindrical microstrip lines and coplanar waveguides.With 256 illustrations and an exhaustive list of references,Design of Nonplanar Microstrip Antennas and TransmissionLines is an indispensable guide for antenna designers inwireless and personal communications and in radar systems, and aninvaluable reference for researchers and students interested inthis important technology.
