THE THEORY OF ARRAY ANTENNAS (WITH EMPHASIS ON RADAR APPLICATIONS)

Abstract

A thorough summary is presented of the theory of large array antennas, with emphasis on electronic scanning (phased array) radar applications. The treatment is comprehensive, covering the theory of error-free arrays of isotropic radiators, arrays of real radiators, and the effects of errors on array patterns and properties. A survey is presented of methods of feeding and phasing large arrays. The understanding and presentation of useful, approximate results is emphasized, will all but the most vital or simple derivations referenced to an extensive bibliography.
