Antenna Booster Technology for Wireless Communications

Being surface-mounted and chip-like in nature, the antenna booster fits seamlessly in an electronic printed circuit board the same way as any other electronic component such as an amplifier, filter or switch. It can be assembled with a conventional pick-and-place machine, making the manufacture and design of the new generation of IoT and mobile or wireless devices much simpler, faster and more effective. Starting with the theory and fundamentals behind the design of antenna boosters and matching networks, the authors present several architectures and show the readers how to put the theory into practice to design antenna systems on wireless platforms and multiband design for wireless device operations with optimized matching networks either passive or active. Written by two experts in the field, Antenna Booster Technology for Wireless Communications offers key insights into the principles and applications of antenna boosters for researchers from academia and industry, as well as lecturers and advanced students, engineers involved in antenna and electronics design, and developers of antenna, radio frequency, wireless and microwave technologies.
