A Handbook on Miniaturization of Antennas. A Review of Antenna Fundamentals & Miniaturization Techniques

      Аннотация: Current advancements in communication technology and significant growth in wireless communication market and consumer demands demonstrate the need for more reliable and power efficient, integrated wireless systems. Also, the rapid evolution of information technology and wireless communications has enabled the development of applications that one was not even able to dream of a few decades ago. This is mainly due to the tireless and everlasting efforts of the electronics and telecommunications industry.Compact size, light weight, low profile, reliability and low cost are now quite important challenges for a system designer to accomplish in the design and performance enhancement of every wireless mobile component. Also, recent developments in communication shows that mobile handsets with the size of a deck of cards have begun appearing in the market and as the demand for increased electronic mobility grow the need for smaller handsets will most likely increase. So, it obvious that the integral components of the communication systems Antennas are one of the most important components in wireless systems.Antenna challenging to scale down in size because of the operating frequency.
