Thanks for the heads up, Terry and Michal!Īlso from our new friend Michal, we have a link to a repository of free, open source books at These books tend to be compilations of papers on similar topics, and are often fairly academic. It's hosted over at the Repository of the North Carolina State University Libraries. This is a five-volume set that covers the fundamentals of Radio Systems, Transmission Lines, Networks, Modules, and Amplifiers and Oscillators.
Two different loyal readers pointed us to Microwave and RF Design by Michael Steer. A bit of a warning about this book is that it is quite math intensive so reader discretion is advised, but in my opinion the math leads to an interesting insight about the antennas and radiation in general." Thanks for the pointers, Jack! The book includes chapters about thin wire and loop antennas, aperture antennas, microstrip patch antennas, horn antennas and arrays of antennas.
The book starts with developing the theory of integral equations, followed by developing an idea of how incremental current sources (electric, magnetic and Huygens) can be used to construct a complex current distribution. He tells us: "This textbook follows the integral equation approach to solving radiation problems related to antennas instead of using auxiliary vector potential functions to solve for the fields. You do have to give them your name and email address before downloading, but MW101 reader Jack tells us it's worth it. We are working to get a local copy of it for download, we'll let you know when it is available again. Kildal Antenna AB has a downloadable PDF text book on antenna design called Foundations of Antenna Engineering. Download them all!Įditor's note: the link to Kildal's antenna book is broken, as it was on his personal website and he passed away a few years back.
We posted all eight volumes on this page. This is a little off-topic, but DTIC released "The Infrared and Electro-Optical Systems Handbook" to the public. Grody. We liked it so much, we gave it its own page. The book "Microwave Radiometry Construction, Measurement & Analysis" was written and donated by Norman C.
Know of something really good that we missed? Send us a note, we'll add it to the list.īy the way, if you're looking for printed books, we've got you covered there as well:Ĭlick here to go to our main page on Microwave Engineering Books.Ĭlick here to go to our page on Engineering History Books. Here's a collection of books on microwave topics that you can download for free,screened by us for no copyright violations. Click here to go to our main page on Microwave Engineering books
