DESCRIPTION:
Stuart Gregson has been working in the field of antenna design and antenna measurement for the space and aerospace industries for nearly 20 years and is currently with Nearfield Systems Inc.John McCormick is Lead Antenna Engineer in the Sensor Systems Division of Selex Galileo and has extensive experience in Antenna/RCS research
--Ed Joy, Professor Emeritus, Georgia Institute of Technology . At last, a must-have complete reference source for the foundations, principles and practice of planar near field antenna measurements. This book is a brilliant collection of the body-of-knowledge of planar near field measurement with extensions to the future. Practical measurement aspects, including sampling, alignment, truncation, positioning errors, polarization and multiple reflections, are examined in detail. I highly recommend this
This single volume provides a comprehensive introduction and explanation of both the theory and practice of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurement from its basic postulates and assumptions, to the intricacies of its deployment in complex and demanding measurement scenarios.
Misleading Title For what it is, the book is detailed and well written. I find the title a little misleading though. The book actually focuses on far-field antenna measurements at distances where receiving antennas don't yet appear as single points, but where distances to different parts of the receiving antenna still matter.
