Lays a foundation for understanding circuit-antenna modules, various analytical methods and their application, and technology types and their application. Gives a detailed account of analytic methods, and reviews some operational and technology types that have very specific and somewhat different analytical needs. Reviews the CAD process, then describes four types of analysis methods in detail. Explains analysis of the specific configurations of injection locked oscillator arrays and grid based structures, and describes applications in monolithic based modules and modules incorporating optical control.

With communications technologies rapidly expanding, the traditional separation of electronic circuits and antenna systems design is no longer feasible. This book covers various design approaches applicable to integrated circuit-antenna modules with the goal of placing the antenna, transmitter, and receiver all on a single chip. It emphasizes analysis and design involving the integration of circuit functions with radiating elements and addresses trends in systems miniaturization.
