Summary Annotation This book provides an initial examination of the properties of antennas that allow them to enhance the free-space interaction of electronic systems. It describes the theory of an effective, efficient and accurate methodology for characterizing these properties using the antenna measurement technique of planar near-field scanning. Considerable emphasis is placed on providing a detailed and clear derivation of the plane wave spectrum representation of electromagnetic fields from Maxwell's equations, using an integral transform approach. The far field parameters are then obtained asymptotically from the plane wave spectrum.Theory and Practice of Modern Antenna Range Measurements will provide a comprehensive introduction and explanation of both the theory and practice of planar near-field measurements, from its basic postulates and assumptions, to the intricacies of its deployment in complex and demanding measurement scenarios.All of the authors have spent a significant proportion of their professional careers involved with antenna measurements of all types and provide readers with a comprehensive and practical text.Click here to view the Table of Contents.
