✦ Synopsis
This is an excellent antenna text. I would say in general the heuristic explanations are very clear and a wide range of antennas are covered.
Perhaps at some points the math is glossed over just a tiny bit, and so if you're really trying to derive things along with the text, it can be a challenge to reproduce some of the results.
The introductory treatment of computational EM methods in the last few chapters is truly outstanding! I have particularly enjoyed the chapter on the method of moments -- the formulation is simplified enough so that you can code up your own toy programs. Advanced topics are mentioned as well. Very nice!

I was pleased when I started into Balanis' tome. The text was readable, detailed enough to follow with good math and standard symbology. He covers just about everything, but suggest further readings if you want to go into depth in a topic. For example, he does not cover large loops where the current
