As a result of recent growth of the wireless market, research and development in antenna technology is growing at a fast pace. New emerging technologies include antennas for cellular mobile communications, vehicle mounted antennas and those for mobile satellite communications.
This text is intended to introduce new engineers and undergraduates to the topic of antennas. It is a well-paced, low level introduction to the subject that does not require previous knowledge of electromagnetic theory.   In addition, the step by step approach to maths is ideal for those who do not have a good mathematical background.  It provides a good introduction to the subject without being overly detailed and includes some non-core subjects to give the student a good overview of techniques
