Why yet another book on antennas ? The aim of the authors was to offer a didactic text appropriate for advanced graduate students, as well as a practical work for practicing engineers; to combine a solid theoretical treatment with a practical development which should allow the serious reader to undertake antenna design from fIrst principles. To accomplish these goals, the authors bring together their contributions from both industry and the academic environment. The developments of the various topics start at a level which is accessible to a novice in the speciality, but give a treatment which culminates at an advanced level. Another important feature of the book is its use of practical examples illustrating real engineering problems and designs. In most cases, the explanation is sufficient to grasp the principles of operation of the related equipment, and, where appropriate, the reader is referred to a relevant bibliography for more complete and hence more sophisticated methodologies of design. Of particular note are the chapters on specialist subjects such as antennas and signal theory, and signal processing antennas, showing how the antenna may be combined with signal processing techniques in imaging applications, in angular superresolution, and in adaptive arrays to suppress interference and jamming. Another example is the chapter on the use of polarimetry to enhance the wealth of information which may be extracted, for example, from radar signals.
The book acts as a valuable introduction to the social history of Wales. The stories are narrated chronologically and the reader can see the evolution of society from the belligerent days of Buddug (Boudicca) to the parliamentary politics of Megan Lloyd George, the first Welsh female MP. The author's unadorned writing blends perfectly with Ruth Jen's simple sketches, and matches the no-nonsense nature of the wild women themselves.
In this, his third First World War related book, with the emphasis on the northern part of Wales, Robert H. Griffiths provides fresh insights into a plethora of themes and topics which make for absorbing reading.
This is an account of life and illness and death in and around the military training camp at Kinmel Park near Abergele in northern Wales that was set up in 1914. Soldiers were trained and detained there, and Conscientious Objectors found themselves based there. The camp had an effect on the surrounding area, too, with road accidents, burglaries, and musical entertainments being visited on the local population! The author Robert Graves was at Kinmel Camp for a time.This readable book is as much as anything the authors tribute to three members of his family who were involved in the First World War, including Robert Owen, who died aged eighteen before completing his initial military training at Kinmel Park Camp.
