Adaptive Antennas and Phased Arrays for Radar and Communications (Hardcover)

Adaptive antennas are integral parts of ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne communication systems, as well as radar systems that must function in the presence of jamming and other sources of interference. Based on the author's extensive research at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, this authoritative resource offers antenna, communications and radar engineers an in-depth description of adaptive antenna and phased array design, emphasizing RF characteristics and field testing methods. For the first time in any book, practitioners find proven techniques and design guidance on specialized types of arrays, using monopole radiating elements, slotted cylinders and ultrawideband dipoles. Moreover, this unique book describes a novel focused near-field technique that helps engineers measure performance of large aperture radar systems and communications systems.

自適應天線是地面、空中和太空通信系統以及雷達系統的重要組成部分，這些系統必須在干擾和其他干擾源存在的情況下正常運作。本書基於作者在麻省理工學院林肯實驗室的廣泛研究，為天線、通信和雷達工程師提供了自適應天線和相控陣列設計的詳細描述，強調射頻特性和現場測試方法。在任何一本書中，從業人員首次找到了關於使用單極輻射元件、槽狀圓柱體和超寬頻雙極子的專門陣列的成熟技術和設計指導。此外，這本獨特的書還描述了一種新穎的聚焦近場技術，幫助工程師測量大孔徑雷達系統和通信系統的性能。
