With updated educational material, colorful illustrations, and supplementary educational material on the accompanying website, the fourth edition of the classic textbook covers recent developments in the field of antenna analysis and design.

The book "Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design" is educationally structured to meet the cognitive needs of students in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Physics, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. However, the wealth of material and extensive coverage of topics, both in theoretical and practical terms, make it a useful tool for professional engineers and antenna system designers.

In order to follow the development of the topics, the reader should have a basic level of knowledge in the theory of electromagnetism (including Maxwell's equations and wave equation), physics, and integral-differential calculus. The book includes sufficient mathematics to enable students to follow the flow of analysis and design processes.
The main goal of the book is the unified, comprehensive presentation of the basic principles of antenna theory, their practical application in technical antenna parameterization, and the applications of antennas in wireless systems. Both the theoretical and practical aspects of all basic types of antennas are covered - linear dipoles, loops, microstrip antennas, wideband antennas, aperture antennas, helical antennas, microstrip antennas, and reflector-type antennas - while an entire new chapter is dedicated to modern smart antenna systems.

In addition to the update and expansion of the material, the fourth edition of the book has been enriched with the following:
- Color illustrations (created with modern software) for better visualization of antenna radiation characteristics
- Accompanying website, which includes MATLAB programs, Java applets, and animations for visualizing radiation characteristics, PowerPoint notes, interactive questionnaires, and a solutions manual for instructors
- Over 100 new problems at the end of each chapter
