Fresnel Zone Antennas Book

Written by leading experts in the field, this book is a research monograph on Fresnel zone antennas. Fresnel zone antennas refer to reflector and lens antennas based on the Fresnel zone concept and phase correction techniques. Unlike the conventional reflector and lens antennas, the focusing effect in a Fresnel zone antenna is achieved by controlling the phase shifting property of the surface rather than its shape, thus allowing flat or arbitrary configurations. Other advantages of Fresnel zone antennas include low manufacturing and installation cost and ease of packaging. The material presented is mainly drawn from the theoretical and experimental work published and unpublished by the authors. The book is intended to serve engineers, researchers and students in the fields of antennas, microwave and millimetre-wave engineering, radar, optics and telecommunications. In the book, readers will find the wealth of novel antenna configurations, first hand experimental results, and a large number of equations useful in the research, analysis and design of Fresnel zone antennas.Read More
