"This completely revised third edition of an Artech House classic offers and up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of array antennas and systems. This edition provides a wealth of new material, including expanded coverage of phased array and multiple beam antennas. It explores current technologies addressing a variety of applications, including large radar and communication systems, air- and spaceborne applications, automotive radar, and cell phone use. Readers find updated material on advanced numerical designs of array apertures, as well as new contributions to scanning reflector and lens technology, reflectarrays, and higly thinned aperiodic arrays. It demonstrates how to size an array system with speed and confidence. This edition also explores broadband antennas for arrays, including self-complementary structures, spirals, a variety of printed slot radiators, flared notches, and broadbandslot and dipole elements. Antenna system noise, updated numerical techniques for antenna pattern synthesis, developments in subarray technology, and in-depth coverage of array architecture and components are additional new features of this book. Practitioners learn how to compute antenna system noise, design subarray geometries for given bandwidth, scan and sidelobe constraints, and choose array illumination tapers for given sidelobe levels. Supported with numerous equations and illustations, this practical book helps evaluate basic antenna parameters, such as gain, sidelobe levels, and noise."--Quatrième de couverture This completely revised third edition of an Artech House classic, Phased Array Antenna Handbook, Second Edition, offers an up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of array antennas and systems.
