Where I studied this stuff originally just coming up to 50 years
ago, there was never enough time allowed in the courses to really
understand what was happening, you just had to recognise the
formulae and where to apply them in exam questions. I drifted away
from electromagnetics in the 3rd year, specialising in computer
engineering, so never really got
much past Maxwell, but now, because of the amateur radio interest,
especially antennae, I'd now like to take on a deep understanding
of what's happening.
Hello. So you want a "deep" understanding of antenna theory?Â* Pick
up a copy of the two volume "bible" set from McGraw-Hill that I
used in a grad school course, "Antenna Theory" by R.E. Collin and
F.J. Zucker. These texts will set you back a few bucks.Â* But be
warned: If you don't understand that undergrad vector calculus
stuff like "curl" and "divergence" used in things such as Green's
and Stokes' theorems, you'll be lost in the forest.Â* (Wishing
amateur radio folks would stop using the modifier "magnetic" when
mentioning loop antennas).Â* Sincerely,
I have Ramo, Whinnery and Van Duzer, 2nd Ed; also Aharoni.
