The first edition of my book, The Art and Science of UWB Antennas, may be ordered from Amazon. Artech House will fulfill your order on a “print-on-demand” basis. The second edition is much improved and includes almost twice as much material. If you’re stuck with a first edition copy, however, you should be aware of these known errors.
- p. 4 “Nikola” Tesla, not Nikolai Tesla.
- p. 21 The reference in caption for Figure 1.20 should be [41], not [40].
- p. 44 Fig 2.5 should read “planar elliptical,” not “log spiral” antenna.
- p. 53 Received power (PTX) should be Received power (PRX).
- p. 55 Eqn 2.22 should be |Einc| = Vrec/heff, not |Einc| = Vrec heff.
- p. 70 in Fig. 3.5(a) swap D and d.
- p. 98 f(at) <-> 1/a F(w/a) should be T(at) <-> 1/a F(w/a)
- p. 121 “Additionally, Figure 4.18 lists..” should be “Additionally Figure 4.19 lists…”
- p. 133 “Figure 4.29(a,b) illustrates this point…” should be “Figure 4.28(a, b)…”
- p. 156-7 C2 = 1, not zero.
- p. 180 “Assuming a solution of the form q = e^-at…” should be “Assuming a solution of the form q = q0 e^-at…”
- p. 183 “…the peak of the impedance curve…” should be “…the peak of the admittance curve…”
- p. 184 In the last line it should be “admittance” not “impedance.”
- p. 217 The text references to 6.20 (b) and (c) should be (c) and (b) [Hat tip and thanks to Eric Schmiedl]
- p. 239 The clover-leaf loop antenna was introduced by Smith in US Patent 2,521,550, not Brown.
- p. 241 Figure 6.48(b) was originally a Smith chart which was deleted. Delete the line mentioning it and reorder the other references to Figure 6.48.
- p. 246 “square root of the dielectric constant” not “square of the dielectric constant” (Kudos and thanks to Hans Van Bruggen for pointing out the error!)
- p. 282 It’s “Kerchoff” not “Kirchoff” in two places.
- p. 305 in endnote [4] it’s “Yoon, Hyung Kuk” not “Yoon, Hyungrak.”
