Rudge "" ""3.1 Prime-focus paraboloidal reflectors "" During the 1980s the worldwide interest in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) grew rapidly with the introduction of legislation to control the growing interference problems generated by the increased use of electronic equipment in industry and in the home. The European directive harmonising EMC measurements gave particular impetus to manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment in Europe to understand EMC design techniques and verification procedures. This book explains how equipment can be verified by testing. It discusses the nature of EMC standards world wide and describes in detail testing methods and their conduct and accuracy. In addition to standard EMC testing, topics including electrostatic discharge, nuclear electromagnetic pulse and lightning are also discussed. The book has 8 chapters. Authored by a multi-national group of antenna experts of international standing. Presents the principles and applications of antenna design, with emphasis upon key developments in the last 15 years. Fundamental background theory and analytical techniques explained in detail where appropriate. Includes extensive design data and numerous examples of practical application. Deals with a very wide range of antenna types, operating from very low frequencies to millimetre waves. New measurement techniques described in detail. Covers associated topics such as radomes, array signal processing and coaxial components. Includes design data for antennas for satellite and terrestrial communications, radar, mobile communications and broadcasting 1) Authored by a multi-national group of antenna experts of international standing. 2) Presents the principles and applications of antenna design, with emphasis upon key developments in the last 15 years. 3) Fundamental background theory and analytical techniques explained in detail where appropriate. 4) Includes extensive design data and numerous examples of practical application. 5) Deals with a very wide range of antenna types, operating from very low frequencies to millimetre waves. 6) New measurement techniques described in detail. 7) Covers associated topics such as radomes, array signal processing and coaxial components. 8) Includes design data for antennas for satellite and terrestrial communications, radar, mobile communications and broadcasting This major reference book is aimed at engineers and technical managers concerned with EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). It explains why EMC testing is necessary, what standards must be met, how such testing is carried out (and therefore how to prepare for it), what accuracy and repeatability can be expected, and when to test.
