Book review [review of "Microstrip and Printed Antenna Design, 2nd Edition" (Bancroft, R.; 2009)]

The knowledge of the basic principles of microstrip and planar antennas is an important skill for an EMC engineer. Not only because, as with all other radiating systems, they spread electromagnetic energy around that can unintentionally couple to other victim systems, but also for the more subtle reason that as the frequency involved in digital systems increases more and more, the proper planar structures of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout can behave as planar antennas.
