Dear All
Hi
Thank you for your time .
I know , somethings about aerial design , ( some kind of antennas such as yuggi , dipole , ....etc) .
But i want learn more about the other antennas .
So is here any offer , for any article or book , that are practical and easy to understand ?
Thanks In Advance

you can download one book "modern antenna handbook" by C.A balanis. it has detail of every type of antenna.

The OP asked for "that are practical and easy to understand". Balanis is certainly not the latter of those two descriptions. However, he is VERY thorough, highly theoretically based, and can be useful in working on just about any kind of radiating structure. So, once you've got some time in the practical arena, building up your fundamental EM theory skills and reading the Balanis text would be VERY good to enhance your knowledge.

I don't really recommend books for antenna study. Most of the time books contain too much mathematical mumbo jumbo that you don't really need.

Website such as microwave101 provides better clarity in antenna design.
 
Thank you my friends for contribution and reply .
I learned about some antennas simply and without confusing things! but as "frodonet" i need some suggestions that are not complicated .
And i love theorem of antenna , but at easiest way .
Best Regards for all of you !

ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) is a collective of amateur and professional radio enthusiasts. The vast majority of their published materials are focused on the do-it-yourself radio person. The ARRL Antenna Book may be right up your alley. I haven't read it, personally. Having been through much of the material in the ARRL Handbook, I can say it's probably very similar, and entry-to-mid level focused for content.

Hello everybody,

I am trying to design 2.45GHz patch on ADS using FR4 substarte.But i am unable to find the substarate paramters i.e thinkness,height and dielctric constant.

I dnt know how should i proceed.

You can select the metal thickness (generally available in 1/2 oz, 1 oz, and 2 oz copper). Dielectric thickness is also a standard range, most FR-4 I've seen from quick-turn places are 60 mils. You'd have to contact your PCB fabrication shop to see what they have in stock, or could order in. Er is about 4.7 for low freq, and drops as you go higher. Expect it to be around 4.3 for 2.4 GHz.

For metal thickness, you want at least 5 skin depths of metal so your electrons have enough "room to run".
