The proposed book is designed to serve as a useful and simplified reference for students, researchers and for engineers who are interested in the analysis and design of modern patch antennas.
In this book, numerous techniques with appropriate design examples are clarified and explained and many simulations and parametric studies are mainly carried out to give physical insight into antenna without getting more into mathematical detail for most of the chapters given in this book.
