Antenna Theory Analysis and Design Book Slides by Balanis

An antenna (or aerial) is an electrical device which converts electric power into radio waves, and vice versa. It is usually used with a radio transmitter or radio receiver. In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an oscillating radio frequency electric current to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). In reception, an antenna intercepts some of the power of an electromagnetic wave in order to produce a tiny voltage at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver to be amplified.    Source (Wikipedia)

Here are the slides containing lecture notes for the famous book about Antennas:
" Antenna Theory : Analysis and Design " by Constantine A. Balanis, 3rd Edition.
