Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design, 2nd Edition
The Latest Resource for the Study of Antenna Theory! In a discipline that has experienced vast technological changes, this text offers the most recent look at all the necessary topics. Highlights
* New coverage of microstrip antennas provides information essential to a wide variety of practical designs of rectangular and circular patches, including computer programs.
* Applications of Fourier transform (spectral) method to antenna radiation.
* Updated material on moment methods, radar cross section, mutual impedances, aperture and horn antennas, compact range designs, and antenna measurements.
A New Emphasis on Design! Balanis features a tremendous increase in design procedures and equations. This presents a solid solution to the challenge of meeting real-life situations faced by engineers. Computer programs contained in the book-and accompanying software-have been developed to help engineers analyze, design, and visualize the radiation characteristics of antennas.

I have read countless books on the subject of antenna theory and design, and quite frankly, have found few that are particularly useful to someone practicing in this field. It seems most texts were written for the purpose of teaching first principles and the physics associated with basic electromagnetics, and less so on practical application. Its no wonder we keep hearing antenna design referred to as a 'black art'. Professor Balanis' book does do better on the design side than most other texts on this topic, save the work of David Pozar (see review). Still, a must have for the antenna engineer's library.

There's better antenna books. Way too much theory and not enough practicality

Best book I've ever seen about Antennas. Clear and with explained formulas. Nice graphs.
