Near-field Antenna Measurements

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.
