商品簡介
Long (Southern Polytechnic State U.) presents a senior undergraduate or first-year graduate level textbook on antenna fundamentals, design, performance analysis, and measurements. It covers a broad range of antenna types and phenomena, from operations at very low radio frequencies to operations with frequencies up to those of submillimeter wavelengths. Chapters cover electromagnetic waves, transmission lines, antenna parameters, basic radiators and feed methods, arrays, reflectors and lenses, antennas with special properties, electronically steered arrays, and antenna measurements. Appendixes provide further information on Maxwell's equations, polarization theory, complex-variable algebra, complex reflection coefficients and multipath effects, radomes, far-zone range-approximation and phase error, radiating near and far fields and the obliquity factor, path length differences from a planar aperture, and effects of random aperture phase errors. A downloadable collection of computer solutions in both Mathcad and MATLAB to antenna radiation examples is also available. Previous experience with electromagnetic theory, sophisticated mathematics, or computer programming is not required. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
