This reference book shows the reader how to calculate antenna gain, pattern and home beam pointing with increased speed and efficiency. It presents a technical overview of the theory and practice of antenna near-field measurements and explains the basic concepts behind near-field measurement theory from the viewpoints of Fourier optics, Doppler beam forming and aperture synthesis. This book is designed to be of interest to antenna design and test engineers, radar engineers, senior technicians and graduate students.

Beginning with a detailed comparison of traditional methods of EM field analysis, this text leads up to a step-by-step explication of the Generalized Multiple Technique (GMT).

This text attempts to give the reader an understanding of the key developments in moment methods and the early history of this development. It provides over 45 key papers in the field, many of which are from non-IEEE sources.

This reference book is designed to be used as a manual to assist in the solving of design problems. The book describes how to use information gathered and presents design data for reference. Large graphs with grid lines make it easier to extract data for specific designs.
