Handbook of Reflector Antennas and Feed Systems Volume 3. Applications of Reflectors

This is the first truly comprehensive and most up-to-date handbook available on modern reflector antennas and feed sources for diversified space and ground applications. There has never been such an all-encompassing reflector handbook in print, and no currently available title offers coverage of such recent research developments. The Handbook consists of three volumes. Volume 3 focuses on the range of reflector antenna applications, including space, terrestrial, and radar. The intent of this book volume is to provide practical applications and design information on reflector antennas used for several communications systems. This book covers recent developments of reflector antennas used for satellite communications, terrestrial communications, and remote sensing applications. New subjects are introduced for the first time, including satellite antennas, Terahertz antennas, PIM, multipaction, corona, deployable mesh reflector antennas, and mechanical aspects of reflector antennas. In addition, this book contains a separate topic on integrated feed assembly for reflector antennas covering analysis, design, fabrication, and test.

Shaped beam/contoured beam antennas; Multiple beam antennas; Multi-band antennas; Feed assemblies for reflector antennas; Passive inter-modulation products (PIM); Multipaction and corona; Reconfigurable antennas; Reflector antennas for Terahertz applications; Large deployable mesh reflector antennas; Remote sensing antennas; Large reflector antennas for earth station and gateway applications on ground; Beam waveguide dual-reflector antennas.
