Preface
I authored a two-part article for the Proceeding of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) on the application of antenna arrays to mobile communications in 1997. It provided the current
state of antenna array research and described how an array of antennas may be used to help meet the
ever-growing demand of increased channel capacity for wireless mobile communications services. The
amount and the kind of feedback I received on the subject, particularly from graduate students and
practicing engineers, indicated to me that there is a need for a more comprehensive source of this material
than a journal article.
One day in late 1998, I received an e-mail from Dr. Alexander D. Poularikas, who coordinates the
Electrical Engineering and Signal Processing series for CRC Press, inviting me to be the editor of a handbook
covering the fundamental developments of this field so that the engineers in practice or the ones who
want to start in this area have a good source to guide them.
I accepted his invitation and prepared a list of topics to be covered by the handbook. Because the
handbook was meant to be a major reference source on this subject, I invited the leading experts in the
field to contribute material on topics of their special interest.
I am very excited about the final outcome and trust that you share my enthusiasm as I briefly describe
what the handbook has to offer.
The handbook has successfully brought together every aspect of antennas in wireless communications
with 26 chapters filled with the latest research and development results compiled by leading researchers
in a manner that is easy to follow. The material has been developed logically, requiring no prerequisite
and thus making it extremely useful not only for researchers and practicing engineers as a reference book
but also for newcomers as a great source of learning.
It is a unique book covering all facets of antennas for wireless communications providing detailed
treatment of cellular systems, antenna design techniques, practical antennas, phased-array technology,
theory and implementation of smart antennas, and interaction of EM radiation with the human body.
It contains more than 1200 references for the readers to probe further.
The handbook would be useful for
• Practicing electrical engineers, in general, and communication engineers, in particular, as a ref-
erence book
• Academics in the area of mobile communications, signal processing, antenna theory, and smart
antennas
• Graduate students and researchers in this area
• Antenna designers in general
• Those who are fascinated by the field of mobile communications and smart antennas
The chapters in the book have been selected to provide coverage of different topics. However, some
overlap between various chapters has been allowed to provide discussion from a different point of view.

The handbook has been organized into six parts outlined as follows:
A Wireless communication systems and channel characteristics
B Antenna technology and numerical methods
C Antenna developments and practical antennas
D Smart antennas and array theory
E Implementation of smart antenna systems
F Electromagnetic radiation and the human body
Chapters 1 through 4 are devoted to wireless communications systems and channel characterization.
Chapter 1, “Cellular Systems,” presents cellular fundamentals by describing the working of mobile com-
munications systems and discussing concepts of multiple access schemes, channel reuse, channel alloca-
tion and assignments, and handoff and power control. It then briefly describes various popular standards.
Chapter 2, “Satellite-Based Mobile Communications,” discusses satellite orbital fundamentals and the
satellite radiopath, and describes various mobile satellite communications systems. Chapter 3, “Propa-
gation Prediction for Urban Systems,” treats the prediction of the average signal strength for a variety of
physical parameters and conditions such as range, antenna height, presence of foliage, and terrain; and
discusses site specific predictions using ray models. Chapter 4, “Fading Channels,” emphasizes funda-
mental fading manifestations, types of degradation, and methods for mitigating the degradation. It
presents examples to mitigate the effects of frequency-selective fading in time division multiple access
(TDMA) and code division multiple access (CDMA) systems.
Chapters 5 through 10 provide coverage of antenna technology and numerical methods. Chapter 5
introduces basic antenna parameters and terminology; and discusses commonly used antenna types,
impedance matching, feeding arrangements, and available software for antenna analysis and design.
Chapter 6 introduces microstrip patch antennas by discussing their general characteristics. It describes
various feed techniques and methods to enhance bandwidth of patch antenna and to reduce the size of
conductors. Examples of active patch antennas are also included in this chapter. Chapter 7 introduces
the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method with emphasis on its applications to printed antenna
and antenna arrays. The chapter discusses fundamentals of FDTD, absorbing boundary conditions, and
radiation patterns; and presents examples of various microstrip antenna analyses. Chapter 8, “Method
of Moments Applied to Antennas,” concentrates on the application of integral equations to antenna
problems and their solution using the method of moments (MOM). It presents the basic philosophy of
MOM and its application to wire antennas, arbitrary metallic structures, and combined metallic and
dielectric structures. Chapter 9 introduces genetic algorithms and shows how these may be applied to
find good solutions to wireless antenna problems. Chapter 10, “High-Frequency Techniques,” presents
high-frequency applications for antennas by discussing modern geometric optics, geometric theory of
diffraction, physical optics, and physical theory of diffraction.
Chapters 11 through 15 constitute Part C of the handbook and are devoted to antenna developments
and practical antennas. Chapter 11 presents development in outdoor and indoor base station antennas
in Japan by describing various base station antennas for cellular systems, diversity antennas for macro-
cellular systems, antennas for micro- and picocellular systems, and personal handy phone system (PHS)
base station antennas. Chapter 12, “Handheld Antennas,” describes various antennas used for handheld
phones and presents a detailed study of meander line antennas for personal wireless communications.
Chapters 13 and 14 provide coverage on antenna development for satellite communications; Chapter 13
concentrates on aeronautical and maritime antennas whereas Chapter 14 focuses on fixed and mobile

antennas. Chapter 13 presents antennas and tracking systems for International Maritime Satellite
(INMARSAT)-A, -B, -C, -F, -M, and -AERO; and antennas for land mobile earth stations and hand-
carried terminals. Chapter 14 presents space segment antennas, earth-segment antennas, and gateway
antennas for satellite communications; microstrip antennas for fixed and mobile satellite communica-
tions; and mobile antennas for receiving direct-broadcast satellite service television (DBS TV) and
SATPHONE antenna systems. Chapter 15, “Shaped-Beam Antennas,” focuses on shaped dielectric lens
antennas and presents design guidelines for these antennas along with the discussion of some practical
aspects, focusing on mobile applications.
Part D of this handbook on smart antennas and array theory contains Chapters 16 to 21. Chapter 16
presents basic array theory and pattern synthesis techniques by discussing basic theory of antenna arrays,
array weight synthesis techniques, and array geometry consideration for pattern adjustment. Many
examples are included in the chapter to emphasize the concepts. Chapter 17, “Electromagnetic Vector
Sensors with Beamforming Applications,” describes advantages and developments of vector sensors, solves
a beamforming problem using these sensors, and compares the results with that of scalar sensors.
