Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design, 4th Edition, is a textbook that introduces the fundamental principles of antenna theory and explains their application to antenna analysis, design, and measurements.

The volume covers basic parameters and diverse antenna configurations, including linear dipoles, loops, arrays, broadband antennas, and horns. It also examines analytical methods such as continuous source synthesis and the moment method.

Designed for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical engineering and physics, as well as practicing engineers, the text assumes a basic knowledge of introductory physics, differential and integral calculus, and undergraduate electromagnetic theory.
