This text is intended for use by engineers and researchers working in phased array theory and technology. It also contains practical design data for antenna designers, radar and communications engineers and array designers and researchers, and should be suitable for use on university courses on antenna rays.

Phased array antennas can be electronically steered and do not have moving parts, making them an efficient and cost-effective solution for today's complex radar and communications systems. This newly revised edition of a classic offers the most up-to-date and broadest view of array antennas and systems. Professionals find complete design details that allow them to build and evaluate an array system with speed and confidence.

Scanning arrays present the radar or communications engineer with the ultimate in antenna flexibility. They also present a multitude of new opportunities and new challenges that need to be addressed. In order to describe the needs for scanned array development, this book begins with a brief discussion of the history that led to present array antennas. This text is a compact but comprehensive treatment of the scanned array, from the underlying basis for array pattern behavior to the engineering choices leading to successful design. The book describes the scanned array in terms of radiation...
