Advanced Array Systems, Applications and RF Technologies adopts a holistic view of arrays used in radar, electronic warfare, communications, remote sensing and radioastronomy. Radio frequency (RF) and intermediate frequency (IF) signal processing is assuming a fundamental importance, owing to its increasing ability to multiply a system's capabilities in a cost-effective manner. This book comprehensively covers the important front-end RF subsystems of active phased arrays, so offering array designers new and exciting opportunities in signal processing.

A comprehensive guide to state-of-the-art phased array-based systems and applications

First developed in 1937 to help improve communication links between the United States and the United Kingdom, phased arrays have evolved far beyond their original purpose. In addition to their value in radio communications, phased arrays are now a vital component in national defense, space exploration, astronomy, and electronic warfare.

Phased Array-Based Systems and Applications was written for researchers and engineers with a professional interest in phased array-based systems....
