Offering you the latest information on microwave antenna testing, this is the only text which brings together the design and operations of all types of antenna test ranges and examines the techniques currently used by today's antenna experts. Presented in handbook form with extensive use of charts and graphs; the text describes the design and operation of conventional far field pattern test ranges; ground ranges; and compact, feed, RCS and near field ranges. This key reference also highlights techniques including correcting data, analyzing antennas, simulators and time domain tests and errors, specifications and range equipment - helping the more advanced reader fine tune his capabilities.
