Phased Array Antennas

A comprehensive guide to the latest in phased array antenna
analysis and design--the Floquet modal based approach

This comprehensive book offers an extensive presentation of a new
methodology for phased array antenna analysis based on Floquet
modal expansion. Engineers, researchers, and advanced graduate
students involved in phased array antenna technology will find this
systematic presentation an invaluable reference.

Elaborating from fundamental principles, the author presents an
in-depth treatment of the Floquet modal based approach. Detailed
derivations of theorems and concepts are provided, making Phased
Array Antennas a self-contained work. Each chapter is followed by
several practice problems. In addition, numerous design examples
and guidelines will be found highly useful by those engaged in the
practical application of this new approach to phased array
structures.

Broadly organized into three sections, Phased Array Antennas
covers:

• The development of the Floquet modal based approach to the
  analysis of phased array antennas

• Application of the Floquet modal based approach to important
  phased array structures

• Shaped beam array synthesis, array beam forming networks, active
  phased array systems, and statistical analysis of phased
  arrays

Incorporating the most recent developments in phased array
technology, Phased Array Antennas is an essential resource for
students of phased array theory, as well as research professionals
and engineers engaged in the design and construction of phased
array antennas.
