THE DEFINITIVE ANTENNA REFERENCE--FULLY REVISED AND EXPANDED!
Design and build your own antennas with the help of this unique guide. Updated and revised to provide clear answers to questions frequently asked by hobbyists and electronics technicians, Practical Antenna Handbook, Fifth Edition blends theoretical concepts with hands-on experience--requiring only high school mathematics
Reorganized to flow logically from broad physical principles to specific antenna design and construction techniques, the book begins by covering the fundamentals. Then the half-wave dipole is discussed both as an excellent antenna in its own right and as a conceptual tool for predicting the performance of other designs. Transmission line impedance matching techniques--and a companion Smith chart tutorial--lead into "must have" accessories for tuning, monitoring, and troubleshooting antenna system performance. Other tools, such as antenna modeling software and network analyzer add-ons for PCs and Macs, are addressed, and concluding chapters offer fresh insights into support structures and installation techniques.
NEW TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE:
- Characteristics of all-driven and parasitic arrays
- Beverages and small MF/HF receiving loops
- Top-loaded shunt-fed towers and other verticals
- Theory and design of Yagi beams
- Effect of real ground on propagation and antenna patterns, impedance, and efficiency
- Lightning protection and four kinds of ground systems
- Zoning and restrictive covenants
COVERS A WIDE VARIETY OF ANTENNAS:
- Dipoles and inverted-Vs
- Quads, delta, and NVIS loops
- Wire arrays (bobtail curtain, half-square, rhombic)
- Verticals and shunt-fed towers
- Rotatable Yagi beams
- MF/HF receiving antennas (flag, pennant, K9AY, Beverage)
- Mobile and portable antennas
- VHF/UHF/microwave antennas
- And many more

Free Practical Antenna Handbook 5/e
This is a book that I am happy to call a member of my collection of antenna books. The book first of all is *readable* not being either a compendium of example antennas others have created that may or may not work, nor is it a book full of old antenna information the foundation for which might date back 80 years and be suspect. It is an up to date treatment of different types of antennas, some theory justifying them, and is exquisitely well-illustrated. Included as well are sections on modern antenna modeling as well as modern means of troubleshooting antenna systems. The book's author is a renowned expert in amateur radio operating and antenna systems. He has always been willing to help others achieve a better understanding of their stations and operation. In short the author's background is perfect to write a Practical Antenna Handbook - someone who knows the theory, practices it avidly and uses his antenna system in frequent operation. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in antennas, regardless of prior background.

This is BY FAR the best antenna book I've come across. I'm a Director of a university library and an Extra Class licensed amateur radio operator and, unfortunately, came across this book after purchasing a number of ARRL antenna books, including the 21st edition of the "The Antenna Handbook." I'm a member of the ARRL, like QST, and like the service they perform but... most of their books tend to be previous QST articles "stitched" together. Or at least they read that way. Ironically, they sometimes leave out the really practical information. Anyway, this book has it all -- theory AND really practical stuff. So it's all here. Great illustrations. The "Mechanical Construction and Installation Techniques" section is not to be beat. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I personally selected it for our university (an engineering school) library. Now I'm going to buy my own personal copy. 73, Bob - W2TAC
