Here's one person's opinion:

Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/BestAntennaBooks

The most comprehensive treatise on antennas, IMHO, is "Antenna Theory",
Parts I & II, by Collin and Zucker, McGraw-Hill. This two-book set is not
really intended for the hobbyist, however. The other great antenna books
in my office bookcase:

1. J.D. Kraus, "Antennas", McGraw-Hill

2. H. Jasik, "Antenna Engineering Handbook", MxGraw-Hill

3. E. Jordan & H. Balmain, "Electromagnetic Waves and Radiating Systems",
Prentice-Hall

4. R.W.P. King & C. Harrison, "Antennas and Waves: A Modern Approach",
The M.I.T. Press

5. W. L. Weeks, "Antenna Engineering", McGraw-Hill

6. S. Schelkunoff & H.T. Friis, "Antennas Theory and Practice", J. W.
Wiley & Sons

7. V. Rumsey, "Frequency Independent Antennas", Academic Press

8. P.E. Law Jr., "Shipboard Antennas", Artech House (this book deals with
antennas used by the USN)

9. Various ARRL handbooks and compendia on antennas.


Many of these references go back a number of decades and I don't know if
they're still in print. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,
