This groundbreaking resource provides you with the background theories and expertise you need to effectively design active phased array antennas with wider bandwidth and scan volume using sparse array technology. The book demonstrates how to incorporate aperiodic arrays and sparse arrays as a solution for overcoming the limitations faced in conventional phased antenna designs, such as blind spots, limited scan volume, large power and cooling requirements, RF path losses, and increased complexity, while adhering to the maintenance of SWAP-C resources widely used in aerospace and defense. Packed with step-by-step information and research results unavailable in any other single source to date, the book presents new concepts and techniques that potentially can be applied to many critical defense and commercial requirements, such as radars, satcom on move, sonars, weather monitoring, 5G and 6G for mobile communication, fault and crack detection in buildings and underground pipelines, automotive anti-collisions mechanism in automobiles, mine detection, through wall imaging, and more. The book helps you to understand the fundamental antenna technology being deployed in modern systems and equips you to design problem-solving sparse array models proven by electromagnetic simulations that can reduce the cost and overall complexity of the existing systems. Numerous design studies are documented to validate the theories presented. The book takes into account the functional constraints in designing commercial and military systems while demonstrating provable techniques that are practical and achievable. This is an important resource for phased array antenna designers interested in utilizing sparse array technology with wider bandwidth and scan volume. The book's straightforward approach and comprehensive coverage make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to advance their knowledge in this field.
