Description
This is the first truly comprehensive and most up-to-date handbook available on modern reflector antennas and feed sources for diversified space and ground applications. The Handbook consists of three volumes. Volume 1 provides a unique combination of theoretical underpinnings with design considerations and techniques; Volume 2 focuses on feed sources; and Volume 3 focuses on the range of reflector antenna applications, including space, terrestrial, and radar. There has never been such an all-encompassing reflector handbook in print, and no currently available title offers coverage of such recent research developments.
