Microstrip patch antennas have become the favorite of antenna designers because of their versatility and having the advantages of planar profile, ease of fabrication, compatibility with integrated circuit technology, and conformability with a shaped surface. There is a need for graduate students and practicing engineers to gain an in depth understanding of this subject. The first edition of this book, published in 2011, was written with this purpose in mind. This second edition contains approximately one third new materials. The authors, Prof KF Lee, Prof KM Luk and Dr HW Lai, have all made significant contributions in the field. Prof Lee and Prof Luk are IEEE Fellows. Prof Lee was the recipient of the 2009 John Kraus Antenna Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society while Prof. Luk receives the same award in 2017, both in recognition of their contributions to wideband microstrip antennas.

Key Features:
Although there are a number of books on microstrip antennas, they were written as reference books rather than as textbooks. The proposed book will present the subject in a way that is suitable as a textbook for a graduate course on antennas, or as a self-study textbook for practicing engineers
As befits a textbook, there are problems and/or mini-projects at the end of each chapter, which are absent in existing books on microstrip antennas. The first edition of the book has been classroom tested by Professor K F Lee in his graduate course on Microstrip Antennas at The University of Mississippi and in the short courses he gave at City University of Hong Kong and National University of Singapore
The authors have been active contributors to microstrip antenna development since the 1980's. Professor K F Lee was one of the early pioneers. They are well recognized, as evident from the frequent citations to their work in the microstrip antenna literature. This book will draw on many of their own contributions. Describing these contributions first hand will stand out from existing publications
