Any good antenna theory and design book with solution manuel available?

In summary, the conversation discusses recommendations for books about antenna theory and design. The suggested titles include Antenna Theory by Constantine Balanis, ARRL or RSGB publications, "Antenna Theory and Design" by Stutzman and Thiele, and Kraus book. The conversation ends with the person expressing gratitude for the suggestions and their plan to study the subject after finishing the last chapter of EM theory.

I agree with Pumblechook that the ARRL books are good. Very practical, and the latest ones come with CDROMs:

I enjoyed my old intro antenna book back a million years ago in undergrad:

"Antenna Theory and Design", by Stutzman and Thiele

Not sure if there is a more current addition, or if it comes with a CDROM now.

I bought both books, not the ARRL! Hopefully between these two and the Kraus book I have, That should give me a good start. I am planning to dive into this subject after I finish the last chapter of the EM theory.
Thanks guys
