Microwave Engineering by David M. Pozar - surely not for beginners, but worth the effort for those interested in high fequency transmissions and EM propagation
on “Ask HN: What are the best textbooks in your field of expertise?” ↗If you haven't already, read Microwave Engineering (Pozar).
on “The Quiet Resurgence of RF Engineering” ↗…you have Harrington's "Time Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields" and Stratton's "Electromagnetic Theory" which are both really fundamental and thorough and more high end you have Collins' "Foundation of Microwave Engineering" and "Field Theory of guided waves" A bit more practical if you like smith charts you've and matching networks you've got Pozar's "Microwave Engineering" and for Antenna theory you've got Stutzman and…
