Antennas: Rigorous Methods of Analysis and Synthesis

The book provides a new method for solving the integral equation of Leontovich, which is the most rigorous and effective equation for the current in thin linear antennas. It considers new ways of analyzing antennas, such as calculating an antenna gain based on main radiation patterns and the calculation of the directional characteristics of radiators with known distribution of current amplitude. It also proposes a method of electrostatic analogy to improve the directional characteristics of log-periodic and director-type antennas. The second part of the book is devoted to specific types of antennas, such as ship antennas for different frequency ranges, and is intended for professionals, lecturers, teachers, students of radio engineering, and researchers working in various fields of radio electronics.

The book presents a groundbreaking approach to solving the integral equation of Leontovich, a rigorous and effective equation for current in thin linear antennas. It delves into the features of the new method in its application across various antenna types, exploring innovative ways to analyze antennas, such as calculating antenna gain based on main radiation patterns and determining the directional characteristics of radiators with known current amplitude distribution. The author's proposed method of electrostatic analogy establishes a foundation for comparing electromagnetic fields of high-frequency currents and electrostatic charges on linear conductors, aimed at enhancing the directional characteristics of log-periodic and director-type antennas. Additionally, the book presents a novel approach to analyzing the electrical characteristics of microstrip antennas, enabling their operation range to be expanded. It yields new results in antenna synthesis.

The second part of the book focuses on specific antenna types, with a particular emphasis on ship antennas designed for different frequency ranges. The book is designed for professionals working in electrodynamics and those involved in antenna development, placement, and exploitation. It serves as a valuable resource for lecturers (university-level professors), teachers, radio engineering students, and researchers in various fields of radio electronics, with an interest in conducting in-depth studies of theoretical problems and antenna designs. Furthermore, it can be utilized for short university courses.
