Springer Smart Antennas: Latest Trends in Design and Application (EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing)

This book presents the latest techniques for the design of antenna, focusing specifically on the microstrip antenna.  The authors discuss antenna structure, defected ground, MIMO, and fractal design. The book provides the design of microstrip antenna in terms of latest applications and uses in areas like IoT and device-to-device communication. The book also provides the current methods and techniques used for the enhancement of the performance parameters of the microstrip antenna. Chapters enhance the knowledge and skills of students and researchers in the latest in the communications world like IoT, D2D, satellite, wearable devices etc. The authors discuss applications such as microwave imaging, medical implants, hyperthermia treatments, and wireless wellness monitoring and how a decrease in size of antenna help facilitate application potential. Provides the latest techniques used for the design of antenna in terms of its structure, defected ground, MIMO and fractal design; Outlines steps to resolve issues with designing antenna, including the latest design and design parameters for microstrip antenna; Presents the design of conformal and miniaturized antenna structures for various applications.
