Product Description
The first complete guide to phased array design and theory in more than thirty years--destined to become the standard reference in the field well into the twenty-first century
The past twenty years have witnessed significant breakthroughs in our understanding of the principles behind phased array antennas and in their design and application. Yet not since R. C. Hansen's 1966 classic, Microwave Scanning Antennas, has there been a comprehensive reference in the field. Phased Array Antennas fills the gap in the professional literature.
Phased Array Antennas is geared to the interests of both the practicing design engineer and the antenna array analyst. Written by an internationally recognized expert with more than four decades of experience in the field, it offers detailed coverage of all practical and theoretical aspects of phased arrays--from quantization lobes and low sidelobe pattern design and measurement to superdirectivity and HTS antennas and frequency scanners. It also provides in-depth coverage of topics such as finite array Gibbsian models, photonic feeding and time delay, waveguide simulators, and beam orthogonality. A multitude of original curves and tables show particular behaviors derived from hundreds of programs developed by the author over the past twenty years, and numerous computer design algorithms and numerical tips are found throughout the book.
Phased Array Antennas is an indispensable tool-of-the-trade for antenna design engineers, radar engineers, PCS engineers, and communications engineers. It also serves as a complete text in phased array design and theory for advanced undergraduate-and graduate-level courses in electronics and communications.

 Faulty Update May 22, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this book because I thought it'll be an update of the author's
classic 'Microwave Scanning Antenna' containing new material as well. During my review of the book and identifying a lot of flaw equations, I started deriving them myself or grabbed the corresponding papers which were referenced. So to recap the lessons learnt so far, I would recommend not to solely rely on this book but be cautious (especially when using the equations) and use the reference list and/or stick to the old 'Microwave Scanning Antennas' released in the 60s.

This book is riddled with errors. You can do a web search for the author and title to get the author's web page with two pages of corrections.
The book is a follow on for the authors older book Scanning Microwave Antennas. The new book has fewer pages and therefore leaves much of the older book out. It does contain new material though.
I would suggest buying the older book first (available used here on Amazon) and only buy this book if you are deeply into antenna design.

The only way to really get any use out of this book is to read the papers that it uses as references. Most of the equations have been copied incorrectly from the original papers, and many of the key variables are never defined in the text of the book. Overall, it was pretty frustrating to try to use as a textbook. In my phased array antenna class, we invariably had to find the IEEE papers used as references and read them to make any sense of the book.
