A comprehensive, practical review of reflectarray theory, design, and state-of-the-art implementations
This book provides engineers with a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in reflectarray antenna research and development. The authors describe, in detail, design procedures for a wide range of applications, including broadband, multi-band, multi-beam, contour-beam, beam-scanning, and conformal reflectarray antennas. They provide sufficient coverage of basic reflectarray theory to fully understand reflectarray antenna design and analysis such that the readers can pursue reflectarray research on their own. Throughout the book numerous illustrative design examples including numerical and experimental results are provided.
The reflectarray antenna is a hybrid design combining many of the best features of reflector antennas and printed arrays, in a low-profile, low-mass, highly cost-effective design. Although the concept of reflectarray antennas was first introduced in the early 1960''s, it did not receive serious attention until the advent of printed circuit board technology in the 1990''s made it practicable. Since then continuous research on reflectarray antennas has yielded several groundbreaking applications, including multi-beam antennas for point-to-point communication, beam-scanning antennas for radar applications, and spatial power combining reflectarray systems, among others.
Featuring in-depth theoretical analysis along with practical design examples, Reflectarray Antennas is an excellent text/reference for engineering graduate students, researchers, and engineers in the field of antennas. It belongs on the bookshelves of university libraries, research institutes, and industrial labs and research facilities.
Specifically, the book:
