Characteristic Modes: Theory and Applications in Antenna Engineering

Describes how to systematically implement the variouscharacteristic mode (CM) theories into the designs of practicalantenna systems. This book examines theoretical developments and characteristicmode (CM) based methodology developments for a variety of criticalantenna designs. The book is divided into 6 chapters. Chapter 1provides an introduction and discusses the recent advances of theCM theory and its applications in antenna engineering. In Chapter2, the characteristic mode theory for perfectly electricallyconducting (PEC) bodies is formulated and its numericalimplementations are discussed. Chapter 3 presents the CM theory forPEC structures embedded in multi–layered medium and itsapplications. Recent advances in CM theory for dielectric bodiesand their applications are covered in Chapter 4. Chapter 5discusses the CM theory for N–port networks and itsapplications to the design of antenna arrays. Finally, Chapter 6discusses the design of platform integrated antenna systems usingcharacteristic modes. Introduces characteristic mode theories for variouselectromagnetic structures including PEC bodies, structures inmulti–layered medium, dielectric bodies, and N–port networks Examines CM applications in electrically small antennas,microstrip patch antennas, dielectric resonator antennas, multiportantennas, antenna arrays, and platform mounted antenna systems Discusses numerical algorithms for the implementation of thecharacteristic mode theories in computer code Characteristic Modes: Theory and Applications in AntennaEngineering will helpantenna researchers, engineers, andstudents find new solutions for their antenna design challenges.
