An in-depth treatment of array phenomena and all aspects ofphased array analysis and design
Phased Array Antennas, Second Edition is a comprehensivereference on the vastly evolving field of array antennas. TheSecond Edition continues to provide an in-depth evaluation of arrayphenomena with a new emphasis on developments that have occurred inthe field over the past decade. The book offers the same detailedcoverage of all practical and theoretical aspects of phased arraysas the first edition, but it now includes:
* New chapters on array-fed reflector antennas; connected arrays;and reflect arrays and retrodirective arrays
* Brand-new coverage of artificial magnetic conductors, and Bodematching limitations
* A clear explanation of the common misunderstanding of scanelement pattern measurement, along with appropriate equations
* In-depth coverage of finite array Gibbsian models, photonicfeeding and time delay, waveguide simulators, and beamorthogonality
The book is complemented with a multitude of original curves andtables that illustrate how particular behaviors were derived fromthe author's hundreds of programs developed over the past fortyyears. Additionally, numerous computer design algorithms andnumerical tips are included throughout the book to help aid inreaders' comprehension. Phased Array Antennas, SecondEdition is an ideal resource for antenna design engineers,radar engineers, PCS engineers, and communications engineers, orany professional who works to develop radar and telecommunicationssystems. It also serves as a valuable textbook for courses inphased array design and theory at the upper-undergraduate andgraduate levels.
