This updated third edition of this popular book covers all types of printed microstrip antenna design, from rectangular to circular, broadband and dual band, and millimeter wave microstrip antenna to microstrip arrays. The book features new analysis of rectangular and circular microstrip antenna efficiency, and surface wave phenomena.

Randy Bancroft is a consulting engineer based in Denver, Colorado, USA. He is the inventor of a dual-band slot antenna for laptop computers and general-purpose ladder balun dipole, and the co-inventor of Omnidirectional Microstrip Antennas. He holds 8 patents. He has lectured a graduate class at the University of Colorado at Boulder on electrically small antennas and device integration.
