Thanks for the correction on "Jasik", my fingers get dyslectic.
I agree with Roy below, it is like a survey book, not as deep math wise as
it could go, then some good sections. Usally It or Krause have something on
an antenna.
Krause has another "book" out, on astromonical antennas, (about 1958?) not a
hardback, and was sold in the back of Sky and Telescope magazine a few years
ago. Excellent book, I cant find it right now, I think it was Astrominical
Antennas, some discussion of the giant antennas he built on campus. Not
amateur radio stuff.

I would like to find a good antenna book on Log periodic below 1 GHz. I
have other antenna books in microwave region, most are all math, waveguides,
feedhorns and so on. But a lot of it scales.

The newer editions of that book (at least from the third edition) are
edited by Richard C. Johnson. It's an excellent reference, but I didn't
include it in my recommendations because Al specifically asked for books
on antenna theory. Jasik/Johnson has a lot of qualitative explanation of
antenna operation and a wealth of practical information for making
antennas, but I wouldn't characterize it as one that goes very deeply
into antenna theory. It does, though, have a very good treatment of
phased arrays of a few elements that you won't find many other places. I
do recommend it for any antenna library, but not as a source of
fundamental antenna theory.

It's spelled Jasik. That might make it easier to find ;-)
