Description: One approach to an antenna book starts with a discussion of how antennas radiate. Beginning with Maxwell’s equations, we derive electromagnetic waves. After that lengthy discussion, which contains a lot of mathematics, we discuss how these waves excite currents on conductors. The second half of the story is that currents radiate and produce electromagnetic waves. You may already have studied that subject, or if you wish to further your background, consult books on electromagnetics.The study of electromagnetics gives insight into the mathematics describing antenna radiation and provides the rigor to prevent mistakes. We skip the discussion of those equations and move directly to practical aspects.
