With communications technologies rapidly expanding, the traditional separation of electronic circuits and antenna systems design is no longer feasible. This book covers various design approaches applicable to integrated circuit-antenna modules with the goal of placing the antenna, transmitter, and receiver all on a single chip. It emphasizes analysis and design involving the integration of circuit functions with radiating elements and addresses trends in systems miniaturization.

K. C. Gupta is the editor of Analysis and Design of Integrated Circuit-Antenna Modules, published by Wiley.

Peter S. Hall is the editor of Analysis and Design of Integrated Circuit-Antenna Modules, published by Wiley.
