The book begins by establishing the foundational concepts of electromagnetic behaviour, environmental constraints, and reconfigurable design strategies, followed by compact antenna solutions essential for mobile and field-deployable sensing tools. It then transitions to advanced materials and next-generation architectures, highlighting metamaterials, nano-enabled designs, and quantum-based antennas that significantly enhance sensitivity and sensing precision. A dedicated examination of antenna arrays demonstrates their role in improving spatial resolution and signal processing in environmental platforms.
Later sections explore the integration of antennas into large-scale monitoring infrastructures. Topics include wireless sensor networks, satellite-based systems, IoT-enabled antennas, and energy harvesting technologies that enable long-term, autonomous environmental data collection. The final chapters present hybrid antenna designs and a focused case study on fractal-loaded microstrip patch antennas for high-performance environmental monitoring.
Comprehensive and forward-looking, this book serves as an essential reference for researchers, engineers, and students working at the intersection of antenna innovation, environmental science, and sustainable technology.
