Introduces timed arrays and design approaches to meet the newhigh performance standards The author concentrates on any aspect of an antenna array thatmust be viewed from a time perspective. The first chapters brieflyintroduce antenna arrays and explain the difference between phasedand timed arrays. Since timed arrays are designed for realistictime-varying signals and scenarios, the book also reviews widebandsignals, baseband and passband RF signals, polarization and signalbandwidth. Other topics covered include time domain, mutualcoupling, wideband elements, and dispersion. The author alsopresents a number of analog and digital beamforming networks forcreating and manipulating beams. The book concludes with anoverview of the methods to integrate time delay into the arraydesign and of several other adaptive arrays that prove useful inmany different systems. Examines RF signal concepts such as polarization and signalbandwidth and their applications to timed antenna arrays Covers arrays of point source, elements in timed antennaarrays, active electronically scanned array technology, and timedelay in corporate fed arrays Includes complete design examples for placing time delay inarrays Timed Arrays: Wideband and Time Varying Antenna Arrays iswritten for practicing engineers and scientists in wirelesscommunication, radar, and remote sensing as well as graduatestudents and professors interested in advanced antenna topics.

This book describes the characterization of liquid crystal materials at microwave frequencies and the usage of these materials in reconfigurable planar antennas and in their electrical tunable components. It reports for the first time the realization of a two-dimensional electronic beam steering antenna and polarization agile planar antennas with liquid crystal display technology. It gives a detailed description of all the theoretical analyses, modeling and design methods that were involved in the realization of these devices as well as their validation using measurement of demonstrative prototypes. This book also shows that low profile, low cost, high gain, electronic beam steering and polarization agile antennas can be fabricated in larger sizes by using existing automated liquid crystal display manufacturing techniques. The innovative ideas and method described in this work represent a considerable advancement in the field of electronically reconfigurable antennas based on liquid crystal technology and are expected to draw significant interest in the future. Such antennas may become important, for example, in mobile terminals integrated into the body of laptops (in the cover) or of automobiles (in the rooftop), ships or boats, for which flat, low-profile and low-cost antennas are required.
