Balanis’ third edition of Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics - a global best-seller for over 30 years - covers the advanced knowledge engineers involved in electromagnetics need to know, particularly as the topic relates to the fast-moving, continuously evolving, and rapidly expanding field of wireless communications. The immense interest in wireless communications and the expected increase in wireless communications systems projects (antennas, microwaves and wireless communications) points to an increase in the number of engineers needed to specialize in this field. Highlights of the 3rd Edition include:A new chapter, on Artificial Impedance Surfaces (AIS), contains material on current and advanced EM technologies, including the exciting and fascinating topic of metasurfaces for:Control and broadband RCS reduction using checkerboard designs.Optimization of antenna fundamental parameters, such as: input impedance, directivity, realized gain, amplitude radiation pattern.Leaky-wa
