This book addresses a broad range of topics on antennas for spaceapplications. First, it introduces the fundamental methodologies ofspace antenna design, modelling and analysis as well as thestate-of-the-art and anticipated future technological developments.Each of the topics discussed are specialized and contextualized tothe space sector. Furthermore, case studies are also provided todemonstrate the design and implementation of antennas in actualapplications. Second, the authors present a detailed review ofantenna designs for some popular applications such as satellitecommunications, space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), GlobalNavigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers, science instruments,radio astronomy, small satellites, and deep-space applications.Finally it presents the reader with a comprehensive path from spaceantenna development basics to specific individual applications.
Key Features:
* Presents a detailed review of antenna designs for applicationssuch as satellite communications, space-borne SAR, GNSS receivers,science instruments, small satellites, radio astronomy, deep-spaceapplications
* Addresses the space antenna development from different angles,including electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical design strategiesrequired for space qualification
* Includes numerous case studies to demonstrate how to design andimplement antennas in practical scenarios
* Offers both an introduction for students in the field and anin-depth reference for antenna engineers who develop spaceantennas
This book serves as an excellent reference for researchers,professionals and graduate students in the fields of antennas andpropagation, electromagnetics, RF/microwave/millimetrewave systems,satellite communications, radars, satellite remote sensing,satellite navigation and spacecraft system engineering, It alsoaids engineers technical managers and professionals working onantenna and RF designs. Marketing and business people insatellites, wireless, and electronics area who want to acquire abasic understanding of the technology will also find this book ofinterest.
