Paperback : £88.60
This book highlights technology trends and challenges that trace the evolution of antenna design, starting from 3rd generation phones and moving towards the latest release of LTE-A. The authors explore how the simple monopole and whip antenna from the GSM years have evolved towards what we have today, an antenna design that is compact, multi-band in nature and caters to multiple elements on the same patch to provide high throughput connectivity. The scope of the book targets a broad range of subjects, including the microstrip antenna, PIFA antenna, and the monopole antenna to be used for different applications over three different mobile generations. Beyond that, the authors take a step into the future and look at antenna requirements for 5G communications, which already has the 5G drive in place with prominent scenarios and use-cases emerging. They examine these, and put in place the challenges that lie ahead for antenna design, particularly in mm-Wave design. The book provides a reference for practicing engineers and under/post graduate students working in this field.

Jonathan Rodriguez received his Master’s degree in Electronic and
Electrical Engineering and Ph.D from the University of Surrey (UK),
in 1998 and 2004 respectively. In 2005, he became a researcher at
the Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (IT) - Portugal where he was a
member of the Wireless Communications Scientific Area. In 2008, he
became a Senior Researcher where he established the 4TELL Research
Group (http://www.av.it.pt/4TELL/) targeting next generation mobile
networks with key interests on green communications, cooperation,
and electronic circuit design. He has served as project coordinator
for major international research projects that includes Eureka LOOP
and FP7 C2POWER, whilst serving as technical manager for FP7 COGEU
and FP7 SALUS. Since 2009, he became an Invited Assistant Professor
at the University of Aveiro (Portugal), and Associate in 2015. He
is author of more than 300 scientific works, that includes 6 book
editorials. His professional affiliations include: Senior Member of
the IEEE and Chartered Engineer (CEng) since 2013, and Fellow of
the IET (2015).
Raed A. Abd-Alhameed is Professor of Electromagnetic and Radio
Frequency Engineering at the University of Bradford, UK. He
received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Basrah University, in
1982 and 1985 respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the
University of Bradford, UK, in 1997, all in electrical engineering.
He has long years' research experience over 25 years in the areas
of Radio Frequency, antennas and electromagnetic computational
techniques, and has published over 500 academic journal and
conference papers; in addition he is co-author of three books and
several book chapters. He is the senior academic responsible for
electromagnetics research in the communications research group, in
which a new antenna design configurations and computational
techniques have been developed including several patents were
considered and filed. Jointly with Prof. Excell (now he is theDean
of Engineering School in Wrexham University), he has developed the
principle of the 'hybrid' method for electromagnetic field
computation, which is able to combine the most appropriate method
for differing regions of a problem (e.g. the human head and a
mobile telephone). This method is recognized as being a leading
area of research in Bioelectromagnetic field computation. He also
investigates the reduction of the size of antennas for personal
mobile communications. The development of this kind of antenna is
under active investigation (three patent applications submitted).
He has also developed the mathematical tools needed for the
simulation of non-linear circuits, including energy-storing
devices. Moreover, He has written three different programs for
electromagnetic scattering problems (Wire Antenna design;
Dielectrically-loaded antennas and Microstrip Wire antennas) and
one code for analysis of nonlinear circuits using Volterra series.
Interest has been shown by publishing houses in finding ways of
disseminating this work.
Issa Elfergani received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical and
Electronic from The High and Intermediate Centre for Comprehensive
Professional (Libya) in 2002 and his MSc, and PhD in Electrical
Engineering with Power Electronics (EEPE) from University of
Bradford (UK) in 2008 and 2012, with a specialization in Tunable
Antenna design for mobile handset and UWB applications as well as
Tunable Filters. He is now a Senior Researcher at the Instituto de
Telecomunicações - Aveiro (Portugal), working with European
research funded projects. He is a TPC member and reviewer for
