ISBN: 0471049840 ISBN-13: 9780471049845 Publisher: Wiley-Interscience OUR PRICE: $235.55 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: August 1996 Annotation: Integrated active Antennas and Spatial Power Combining provides the first comprehensive treatment of the theoretical and practical elements of integrated antennas, active antennas, and spatial power combining. The first part of the book provides all the background information necessary to understand integrated antennas, including general oscillator theory as well as antenna, array, and power combining theory. The book then classifies active antennas according to function, describes the evolution of the technology, and provides the technical tools needed to proceed confidently with antenna integration projects. Offering many examples and useful insights, authors Julio Navarro and Kai Chang clarify the concepts behind the methods of power combining and synchronization, and examine testing parameters and techniques for active antenna measurements. They review all active integrated devices on microstrip patches, grids, notches, and other antennas; cover the application of these devices to transmitters and power combining arrays; and discuss various other active and integrated antenna components. They conclude with a chapter on beam steering, exploring both theory and potential phased-array applications for this exciting new technology. |

| Publisher Description: An active antenna is one which has its own power source and emits signals which are reflected from objects in their paths. Many active antenna elements can be combined to build an array or a spatial combination, and offer advantages such as higher power and efficiency, and reduced weight and cost. |
