The Blake/Long book is a professional level, introductory text on antenna principles, design, analysis, and measurements. It is especially suitable for persons who wish to improve their knowledge of antenna principles, concept design, performance analyses, and measurements. It is not a cookbook-like catalog for antenna design, nor does its understanding require a familiarity with electromagnetic theory, sophisticated mathematics, or complex computer techniques. The 3rd Edition updates and expands the original text by Lamont Blake, which was prepared at the undergraduate engineering, science, or technology level. For providing technical depth at the senior and graduate university levels, additions to the original book include a greatly expanded Chapter 7 on Antennas with Special Properties, a completely new Chapter 8 on Electronically Steered Arrays, and a revised and Chapter 9 on Measurements. Also new to this edition are numerous appendices to the updated text and downloadable Supplementary Materials with sample computer analyses. Reader knowledge assumes familiarity with basic college physics and mathematics. Computer computations use MathcadÂ® software, which can be read and used by persons without prior computer programming knowledge. The book is therefore suitable for entry-level as well as the more experienced professionals who desire to expand their understanding of and capabilities for antenna principles, analyses, measurements, and design.

Techniques for predicting the maximum range of a detection radar are examined in a theoretical and practical introduction intended as a reference for scientists and engineers and as a textbook for short intensive courses in radar technology. Chapters are devoted to the radar range equations, signal detection, target cross sections, receiver noise, atmospheric effects, multipath propagation, clutter and interference, pulse-radar detection-range computations, and special types of radar.

This comprehensive revision is a senior undergraduate or first-year graduate level textbook on antenna fundamentals, design, performance analysis, and measurements.In addition to its use as a formal course textbook, the book's pragmatic style and emphasis on the fundamentals make it especially useful to engineering professionals who need to grasp the essence of the subject quickly but without being mired in unnecessary detail.This new edition was prepared for a first year graduate course at Southern Polytechnic State University in Georgia. It provides broad coverage of antenna types and phenomena, for operations at very low radio frequencies, as well as frequencies up to those of submillimeter wavelengths.Most antenna textbooks are written for readers proficient with vector calculus and begin with the use of Maxwell's equations in the development of antenna theory. These books do not meet the needs of many students and engineers who, because of their backgrounds or personal interests, desire a more direct path for assimilating antenna fundamentals and their connection to application topics of antenna engineering.There are problems at the end of each chapter, and answers to the odd numbered problems are included at the end of the book. Complete answers are available for instructors who adopt the book. The appendices provide technical depth to the chapters and downloadable data files are referenced in the chapters for providing a more complete treatment of antennas. In this Deluxe Edition, a full featured copy of Mathcad 14.0 is included so readers can easily create their own computer analyses. The downloadable data files provide computer solutions in both Mathcad and MATLAB to problems in the areas that follow:* Reflection coefficients for surfaces versus dielectric properties, conductivity, polarization, surface roughness, and incidence angle* Earth's multipath effects on antenna patterns versus surface properties, antenna and observation heights and separation distance, and polarization for flat and spherical earth models* Radiating near and far fields from arrays and continuous aperture antennas, as functions of aperture phase and amplitude distributions and random aperture errors.Key Features* Complete solutions available to adopting course instructors.* Retains the clarity of writing and minimum of required math and theory so that a broad range of readers will benefit.* Includes a brand new chapter on Electronically Steered Arrays, so important to understanding the advances in digital technology as they apply to high-speed electronics and applications in radar and communications today* Problems and Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter for homework or self-study tests of understanding* Material and reviews have been provided by leading antenna experts and instructors: Donald Bodnar, Ed Joy, and Andrew Peterson* Downloadable Mathcad files, and MATLAB files for extended study and visualization.The eTextbook available for rental on CourseSmart.
