Book description
This book addresses a broad range of topics on antennas for space
applications. First, it introduces the fundamental methodologies of
space antenna design, modelling and analysis as well as the
state-of-the-art and anticipated future technological developments. Each
of the topics discussed are specialized and contextualized to the space
sector. Furthermore, case studies are also provided to demonstrate the
design and implementation of antennas in actual applications. Second,
the authors present a detailed review of antenna designs for some
popular applications such as satellite communications, space-borne
synthetic aperture radar (SAR), Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS) receivers, science instruments, radio astronomy, small
satellites, and deep-space applications. Finally it presents the reader
with a comprehensive path from space antenna development basics to
specific individual applications.
Key Features:
- Presents a detailed review of antenna designs for applications
such as satellite communications, space-borne SAR, GNSS receivers,
science instruments, small satellites, radio astronomy, deep-space applications
- Addresses the space antenna development from different angles,
including electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical design
strategies required for space qualification
- Includes numerous case studies to demonstrate how to design and
implement antennas in practical scenarios
- Offers both an introduction for students in the field and an
in-depth reference for antenna engineers who develop space antennas
This book serves as an excellent reference for researchers,
professionals and graduate students in the fields of antennas and
propagation, electromagnetics, RF/microwave/millimetrewave systems,
satellite communications, radars, satellite remote sensing, satellite
navigation and spacecraft system engineering, It also aids engineers
technical managers and professionals working on antenna and RF
designs. Marketing and business people in satellites, wireless, and
electronics area who want to acquire a basic understanding of the
technology will also find this book of interest.
