Abstract:
The monograph describes two evaluation methods developed at Technical Univ. of Wroclaw in the research on highly integrated lightweight antennas. The one method allows simulations of highly integrated antennas made of composites or other dielectrics. The electrical properties of the materials are measured over broad temperature and frequency ranges, and are included into the simulations of the impedance characteristics of the microwave components incorporated into stratified-media antennas. The other method explores the near field distribution of the antenna. Due to the two-dimensional signal processing applied, the method provides highly accurate radiation patterns in three dimensions. Both methods have been upgraded compared to those described in the literature. In contrast to conventional measuring methods, which provide overall data, it is expected that the enhanced evaluation methods will allow instant pointing of non-conforming array elements and modules. As both methods make use of indirect approaches, comprehensive data processing or simulations must be performed. |

Abstract:
This book combines those elements of diffraction theory normally associated with optics (Gaussian beams, lenses, mirrors, etc.) and extends them into the micro and millimetre wavelength range. In this regime there are a number of applications in devices such as automobile proximity sensors, satellite-TV receiving antennas and non-destructive testing systems and researchers working in these areas would benefit from greater understanding of the diffraction phenomena involved.
Contents:
Theory of diffraction. Short focusing Fresnel zone plates. Elements of diffraction quasioptics. Synthesis of diffractional elements. Diffractional antennas at millimetre wavelengths. The influence of surface form on the structure of Fresnel zones. Applications of diffractional optics and quasioptics. Diffractional antennas. Optical constants of materials at submillimetris and millimetric wavelengths |

Abstract:
RF and Microwave Engineering is one of the fastest growth areas of the past decade and will probably continue to be a very active area of research and application in a large variety of fields. The six volume set of Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering illustrates how this field has been the key to enabling technology responsible for the phenomenal growth of wireless communications. This set also examines how RF and microwave engineering continues to have great influence as the technology behind such important applications as radar, remote sensing, remote control, sensors, navigation, surveillance, electronic warfare, radiometers, plasma research, and imaging.

Abstract:
This book builds on the student's introduction to electromagnetic theory that has been obtained in an undergraduate physics course in order to emphasize its importance in a modern electrical and computer engineering curriculum. Examples that illustrate the concepts of static fields, time-varying fields, wave propagation, transmission lines, and radiation are included. In addition, the text emphasizes the use of MATLAB, which is widely available and has frequently been used by the student in previous courses. |

Abstract:
In the last fifty years, extensive studies have been carried out worldwide in the field of adaptive array systems. However, far from being a mature technology with little research left to tackle, there seems to be unlimited scope to develop the fundamental characteristics and applications of adaptive antennas for future 3G and 4G mobile communications systems, ultra wideband wireless and satellite and navigation systems. This book provides insight on adaptive array fundamentals as well as coverage of adaptive algorithms and advanced topics. It analyses the performance of various wideband beamforming techniques with wideband array processing and comprehensively covers implementation issues related to circular arrays, channel modelling and transmit beam forming. It supports practical implementation considerations with detailed case studies on wideband arrays, radar, sonar and biomedical imaging, terrestrial wireless systems and satellite communication systems. |

Abstract:
Despite previous books on UWB systems for radar systems and more recently, communications, no book exists that deals with the antennas and propagation of UWB for both communication and radar systems. This book provides up-to-date material on fundamental design concepts and principles for UWB antennas and arrays. In addition, the propagation of UWB radiation is addressed and gives a better understanding of the nature of propagation of UWB waves including interference, coexistence, diversity and MIMO (multiple-input, multiple output - transmission of the same information by multiple transmitters and multiple receivers) and propagation through biological materials. The book also looks at sxisting and proposed UWB applications. |

This books explains the latest developments in DOA estimation from leading researchers in the field. It shows how DOA estimation is one of the main functional requirements for direction-finding smart antennas in next generation mobile and stealth communication systems. This first compiled book in the field covers a wide range of key topics, from DOA estimation methods and source localization problems, to specific applications of DOA estimation and experimental setup and results. The book is applicable to graduate students and researchers studying the area.

Abstract:
This book is a resource on the theory, design, and applications of wireless antennas for on-body electronic systems. It gives the state-of-the-art in existing applications like Bluetooth headsets together with detailed treatment of techniques, tools, and challenges in developing on-body antennas for medical, emergency response, law enforcement, personal entertainment, and military applications.

It covers on-body communication channels at microwave frequency bands and at low frequency bands, as well as ultra wideband systems for WPANs and WBANs. It provides details on body-centric UWB antennas and channels, and explains advances in wearable mobile, EBG, and "smart fabric" antennas for cellular and WLAN communications. Chapters on telemedicine applications, such as remote diagnoses, and implantable medical devices cover crucial propagation issues and other obstacles that need to be addressed. A final section explains antenna design for body-sensor networks and their emerging military and space applications. |
