This title presents a novel theoretical framework for multi-mode resonant antennas, exploring various implementation approaches with a focus on mode gauge functionality. It introduces a groundbreaking concept called mode gauge, which facilitates a clear identification and flexible control of all usable resonant modes in multi-mode resonant antenna design.

The book begins by advancing a generalized odd-even mode theory as a comprehensive theoretical framework for resonant elementary antennas. This theory offers fresh insights into the classical problem of coupling effects between antennas and transmission lines, shedding light on the operation mechanism of elementary antennas under multi-mode resonance.

Furthermore, the concept of mode gauge is developed and utilized for wideband elementary antenna design by simultaneously exciting and tuning multiple resonant modes within a single radiator. This approach enables the creation of antennas with enhanced performance, including wideband antennas, circularly polarized antennas, multiband antennas, frequency scanning antennas, and low-profile antennas.

In addition to theoretical explorations, the authors provide comprehensive analysis of up-to-date implementations of multi-mode resonant elementary antennas with diverse functionalities. These implementations encompass a wide range of applications, such as wireless communication systems, radar systems, and satellite communication systems.

Academics, students, and professional engineers at all levels will greatly benefit from this book. It serves as a valuable resource, providing historical background, state-of-the-art methodologies, practical design tools, and numerous applications of multi-mode resonant antennas. By leveraging the insights and techniques presented in this book, readers can advance their understanding of multi-mode resonant antennas and contribute to the development of innovative antenna systems for various communication applications.
