Author Description

This comprehensive resource presents antenna fundamentals balanced with the design of printed antennas. Over 70 antenna projects, along with design dimensions, design flows and antenna performance results are discussed, including antennas for wireless communication, 5G antennas and beamforming. Examples of smartphone antennas, MIMO antennas, aerospace and satellite remote sensing array antennas, automotive antennas and radar systems and many more printed antennas for various applications are also included. These projects include design dimensions and parameters that incorporate the various techniques used by industries and academia.<br> <br> This book is intended to serve as a practical microstrip and printed antenna design guide to cover various real-world applications. All Antenna projects discussed in this book are designed, analyzed and simulated using full-wave electromagnetic solvers. Based on several years of the author's research in antenna design and development for RF and microwave applications, this book offers an in-depth coverage of practical printed antenna design methodology for modern applications.<br> <br> background and basic concepts behind multimedia networking, and provides an introductory high-level overview of the different services and protocols that will be covered in the book. Each of the subsequent parts of the book is focused on the practical analysis of a specific multimedia service, reviewing the diverse network protocols that are of common use to implement it. In particular, the book focuses on a representative set of networked multimedia services, with proven success and high penetration in the telecommunication market, namely Internet telephony, video-on-demand (VoD) and live IPTV.<br> <br> This book also contains exercises based on open source tools and software, analyzing the practical operation of diverse multimedia services as well as implementing and deploying some of its fundamental components. This understand the detailed oper
