Antenna Design for Mobile Devices / Wiley - IEEE (PDF)

Written by an antenna engineer turned professor who has worked at
Apple, Nokia and Amphenol, Antenna Design for Mobile
Devicesis a comprehensive guide for fresh and intermediate
engineers involved in antenna design. The book instructs readers
through all aspects of real world antenna designs, which includes
how to make a stable antenna fixture, designing various types of
antennas, designing an antenna with good manufacturability, using
various matching technique to improve antenna performance, setting
up production measurement for mass manufacturing, and making
antenna SAR and HAC compliant. Most popular antenna categories,
such as internal PIFA, integral IFA, internal folded monopole,
ceramic antennas, stubby antennas and whip stubby antennas, are
introduced in the book. The book focuses on the basic principle of
each kind of antenna and emphasizes on key parameters of antenna
optimization. Complimentary matching software, which accompanies
the book, is provided so readers can practice various antenna
matching technique and design matching circuits for real projects.

* A one-stop design reference containing all an engineer needs
when designing antennas

* Accessible to readers of many levels, from introductory to
specialist

* Presents shortcuts for engineers who lack antenna knowledge but
need no-hassle techniques for designing simple antennas

* Contains hands-on knowledge not available in other books

* Written by a practicing expert who has hired and trained
numerous engineers

* Incorporates the various techniques used by pure-play antenna
firms, established mobile device brands, and new entrants to the
mobile space

* Comes with antenna matching software written by the author,
which can be used for practice and real-world projects

* Presentation slides with lecture notes available for instructor
use

This book is targeted at practicing antenna engineers,
particularly those focusing on mobile devices, as well as
researchers and academics looking to keep up with this
quick-changing field. Engineering managers will find it to be a
helpful guide for teaching new hires, while new hires, by using the
book themselves, will be able to quickly gain expert-level
proficiencies. The book is also suitable for wireless network
equipment engineers, who desire a stronger sense of antenna
principles, as well as electronic engineering students studying
electromagnetics. Readers should possess a basic
undergraduate-level understanding of electromagnetic theory.
