A guide to broadband microstrip antennas, offering information to help you choose and design the optimum broadband microstrip antenna configurations for your applications, without sacrificing other antenna parameters. The text shows you how to take advantage of the light-weight, low volume benefits of these antennas, by providing explanations of the various configurations and simple design equations that help you analyze and design microstrip antennas with speed and confidence. This practical resource presents an understanding of the radiation mechanism and characteristics of microstrip antennas, and provides guidance on designing new types of planar monopole antennas with multi-octave bandwidth. The authors explore how to select and design proper broadband microstrip antenna configurations for compact, tunable, dual-band and circular polarization applications. Moreover, the work compares all the broadband techniques and suggests the most attractive configuration.

The volume comprises best selected papers presented at International Conference on Wireless Communication (ICWiCOM) which is organized by Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering of D J Sanghvi College of Engineering. The volume focusses on narrowed topics of wireless communication like signal and image processing applicable to wireless domain, networking, microwave and antenna designs, tele-medicine systems, etc. The papers are divided into three main domains like, networking, antenna designs and embedded systems applicable to the communication domain. The content will be helpful for Post-Graduate and Doctoral students in their research.
