Antenna Engineering and Radiowave Propagation with MATLAB®

Antenna Engineering and Radio Wave Propagation with MATLAB® offers a comprehensive, simulation-driven approach to designing and optimizing antennas for modern wireless systems. It combines fundamental electromagnetic principles with cutting-edge innovations like reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and wearable biomedical antennas. With over 500 equations and 200 detailed figures, it seamlessly connects theoretical concepts with real-worldl design challenges in antenna miniaturization and wireless communications. This resource covers a wide range of antenna types, including dipoles, arrays, horn antennas, and aperture antennas. It applies advanced techniques such as ray tracing, Fourier analysis, and numerical modeling to address in-the-field challenges. Find solutions for problems like sidelobe suppression, propagation in lossy media, compact antenna design. The book also develops satellite and 5G antenna architectures, supporting these concepts with 50 practical MATLAB codes that demonstrate array synthesis, impedance matching, and radiation pattern control. This is an essential resource for antenna engineers, RF designers, and wireless system developers across telecommunications, aerospace, and biomedical fields. It provides solutions for critical problems such as interference mitigation, wearable device design, and ensuring reliable performance in complex propagation environments. The book equips professionals with the knowledge to meet the demands of next-generation wireless networks by offering a practical, simulation-driven approach to antenna design and optimization.

Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines

This textbook presents theory-based approaches to teaching and studying the kinematics and dynamics of machines, complemented by graphics and animations using contemporary software; MATLAB®, Simulink® and SimscapeTM MultibodyTM. Students gain hands-on experience with relevant engineering software, developing skills in modeling, analysis, simulation, and animation while learning the course material. Instructors can guide students in creating their own systems, helping them better understand and optimize their designs. Emphasizing the ubiquity of machines, the text is informed by a wide variety of examples; it caters for the generic—such as the factory packing machine—but also draws on the more familiar—such as kitchen appliances—to highlight machines encountered in everyday life. The book provides a connection between the acquisition of marketable skills in computer modeling and study for an academic degree and has evolved from the author’s teaching experience. Features of the textbook include: extensive use of examples in the text, covering numerical, graphical, analytical, and SimscapeTM MultibodyTM model-based techniques examples for students; end-of-chapter exercises allowing regular assessment of learning attainment; a pdf solutions manual for instructors adopting the book, available from SpringerLink; and lecture slides for use or adaptation by instructors. Chiefly intended for an upper-level undergraduate course in the design and kinematics of machines, this textbook also contains more advanced elements that extend its relevance into the sphere of the beginning graduate student.
