ARRL Antenna
Book
By American Radio Relay League
 The
ARRL Antenna Book is a modern classic. Although this book is angled
toward radio amateurs ("ham" radio operators) it would be
of interest to all interested in antennas.
If you are a veteran amateur radio operator, this book has top flight,
rock solid information on antenna construction, design, evaluation,
and applications for all bands of amateur radio communication. But if
you're a beginner, this book is also a great place to start. It's a
very solid introduction to antenna theory, but is also loaded with practical
hints on long wires, dipoles, beams, stealth antennas, tuners, home-builts,
QRP antennas and more.

The
Right Antenna
By Alvis
J. Evans
 The
Right Antenna, subtitled 'How To Select And Install Antennas For Entertainment
& Communications Devices', lives up to its titles very well.
There are 12 chapters in this well illustrated book which cover such
topics as: How Antennas Work, TV Antennas - General, Selecting A TV
Antenna DSS Satellite TV Antennas, FM Antennas, Fringe Area And MATV
Antennas, TV And FM Noise And Interference, CB And Cellular Antennas,
Shortwave Antennas, Antenna Installation, Shortwave Antenna Projects
and New Trends In TV Antennas And Amplifiers.
This publication is a useful starter book, though it is aimed more at
the person looking for more general information about antennas and may
not be for those looking for particular installations.
