The Fast Track to Understanding Ham Radio Antennas (Fast Track Ham License Series)

From the award-winning author of the popular Fast Track series of ham radio license courses and ham radio books comes The Fast Track to Understanding Ham Radio Antennas. Antenna theory books available to amateurs fall into two categories; very, very basic or very, very heavy on the advanced mathematics. The Fast Track to Understanding Ham Radio Antennas translates the advanced math into everyday English so you know the fundamentals of antenna performance and can make better antenna choices. We will show you the math, but we’ll also explain it and, most important, tell you the “so what?” We cover everything from the most basic concepts, such as how feedpoints affect antenna impedance -- and why it matters -- to advanced concepts like how directional antennas work and even phased antenna arrays. You'll also learn the fine points of transmission line performance -- a critical factor in antenna system performance. We'll even take some of the mystery out of Smith charts! We can't guarantee your antenna’s propagation will be perfect after you read this book, but you will be able to ask intelligent questions that will lead to improved performance. Lavishly illustrated and written in the conversational, "good humored next-door-neighbor who happens to know his stuff on this topic" style that has made the Fast Track ham license programs such a hit, The Fast Track to Understanding Ham Radio Antennas is your key to leveling up your knowledge about this vital aspect of ham radio.
