The propagation of radio waves and antenna-feeder arrangements: Problems and exercises

This book is intended for students of technical schools. The examples and problems presented in the book correspond to the requirements encountered in practical applications of radio communication and broadcasting technology. General aspects of radio wave propagation are examined, and examples are provided regarding the calculation of the field intensity of radio waves for various frequency bands, taking into account centimetric, decimetric, metric, decametric, hectometric, kilometric, and myriametric wavelengths. Attention is given to computational examples related to general problems concerning the design of antenna-feeder arrangements. Antenna design problems for radio communication and broadcasting application are also discussed along with the determination of the operational parameters for antenna-feeder systems and appropriate research projects for graduating students. Symmetric and coaxial feeders and waveguides are also considered.
