What are the best books on antenna design and design?

There are many books depending on your requirement. If you are interested in covering all types of antennas go for Antenna theory and design by Constantine A. Balanis (or) Modern Antenna Design by Thomas Milligan. , Some people collect stamps. I collect planar cellular antenna shapes.

What is antantenna Handbook?

Antenna Handbook. The original intent when the first edition was planned was to provide the reader with a practical, yet theoretical, book that could be used with only a minimal effort to actually design and install radio antennas.

What is line-of-sight propagation above 30 MHz?

Line-of-Sight Propagation Above 30 MHz neither ground nor sky wave propagation operates Transmitting and receiving antennas must be within line of sight oSatellite communication – signal above 30 MHz not reflected by ionosphere oGround communication – antennas within effective line of site due to refraction

What is your review of Prof Prof Balanis’ book antenna theory?

Prof Balanis is a master in Antenna Theory. I have read previous editions and was delighted with this book. The book is not for novices. A mastery of Maxwells equations is necessary to appreciate this book, fully. The Author develops the subject from fundamentals.
