John Daniel Kraus

This is an exciting revision of John Kraus' classic book Antennas, which has been long known as the "Antenna Bible". A new co-author, Ronald Marhefka has joined the author team for this revison. Many new, modern applications have been added-thus the title change to Antennas with All Applications. As well, the references have been updated to include recent additons to the literature. Additionally, the book has been reorganized to make it more user-friendly for both students and professionals. The book now covers the fundamentals of various antennas and concepts in the first half of the book and then gets into more details on those same topics later in the book. This allows a one-semester course to just cover the fundamentals if desired, and a professional to focus on advanced topics if he or she wants.

Describes radio astronomy and how it helps scientists study the universe.

"In Electromagnetics with Applications, 5/e, Kraus and Fleisch do a superb job of blending Kraus's classic writing style with innovative organization. This text is designed so that the first five chapters contain the core content while the latter six provide supplementary material. This flexible organization makes it easy to teach the material in a way that meets specific course needs. This book also features early coverage of transmission lines and other practical applications along with reduced coverage of electrostatics, making this a great choice for a one-semester course in Electromagnetics."--BOOK JACKET.
