The definitive antenna reference―thoroughly revised and expanded to cover the latest technologies!
This fully updated handbook lays out complex antenna fundamentals in simple terms for ham and short wave radio hobbyists and electronics technicians. The book begins with quick explanations of present day antenna theories and practices before providing start-to-finish instruction on the fabrication and installation of real antennas. You will explore every type of antenna system―from VHF/UHF to mobile/wireless and everything in between.
Practical Antenna Handbook, Sixth Edition bridges the gap between the highly theoretical mathematics of antenna engineers and the "hands-on" focus of radio amateurs and experimenters. The book covers key areas such as multiple antenna families, inexpensive or free software modeling tools, and antenna testing using low-cost techniques. You will get coverage of new antenna types for low-frequency applications only now being opened to radio amateurs.

Contains everything hobbyists and technicians need to know about antennas
Blends theoretical concepts with hands-on experience―requires only high school math
Written by an electrical engineer and amateur radio enthusiast
