Design of Ultra Wideband Antenna Matching Networks: via Simplified Real Frequency Technique (SRFT) will open up a new horizon for design engineers, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students to construct multi-band and ultra wideband antenna matching networks for antennas which in turn will push the edge of technology to manufacture new generation of complex communication systems beyond microwave frequencies both in commercial and military line.
In Design of Ultra Wideband Antenna Matching Networks, many real life examples are presented to design antenna matching networks over HF and cellular commercial multi-band frequencies. For each example, open MatLab source codes are provided so that the reader can easily generate and verify the results of the examples included in the book.
