Antenas: análise e projeto

This book addresses the theory and design of the most relevant and commonly used antennas in an integrated manner. The approach used here derives from the author's accumulated experience over many years of teaching courses with similar syllabuses to those covered in the text, including antenna measurements in the radio frequency laboratory and in the anechoic chamber. This extensive experience has allowed for frequent connections between the theoretical content and the practical aspects covered in the text.
The topics are presented in a sequence that begins with basic theory and progresses to the study of more complex antennas, leading to a deeper understanding and development of the previous topics. The relevant equations are derived, and many results and conclusions are presented graphically.
The book is organized into eight chapters: Fundamental Definitions and Concepts, Filiform Antennas, Continuous Distributions, Arrays, Cylindrical Conductor Antennas, Aperture Antennas, Printed Antennas, and Multiband Printed Antennas and Arrays for Wireless Communications. At the end of each chapter, application exercises are proposed to help the reader understand the topics covered.
In some chapters, the author developed several Matlab scripts to plot graphs and design antennas. These scripts, as well as other documents, are available through links provided in the book.
