Antenna Engineering Using Physical Optics: Practical CAD Techniques and Software

From the Publisher: Spend less time setting up complex antenna design problems and improve the accuracy of your results with this practical new book and software package. It shows you how to combine physical optics modeling techniques with the free space dyadic Green's function to quickly and easily calculate antenna patterns and diffraction from nearby objects, letting your PC do the specialized math for you. Accompanying software created in MATLAB® and traditional FORTRAN code shows you how to apply basic routines so you can focus more time on the actual solution of antenna radiation problems. The book includes detailed examples showing you how to string the subroutines together for fast, accurate analysis of multiple reflector antennas, radomes, lenses, RCS of simple surfaces, microstrip arrays, and more. Packed with 100 illustrations and more than 120 equations, this hands-on guide is essential reading for all antenna design engineers who need powerful, versatile techniques to solve antenna radiation problems and who want to avoid complicated and potentially inaccurate math.
