Providing up-to-date material for UWB antennas and propagation asused in a wide variety of applications, "Ultra-wideband Antennasand Propagation for Communications, Radar and Imaging" includesfundamental theory, practical design information and extensivediscussion of UWB applications from biomedical imaging, through toradar and wireless communications.An in-depth treatment of ultra-wideband signals in practicalenvironments is given, including interference, coexistence anddiversity considerations. The text includes antennas andpropagation in biological media in addition to more conventionalenvironments. The topics covered are approached with the aim ofhelping practising engineers to view the subject from a differentangle, and to consider items as variables that were treated asconstants in narrowband and wideband systems.* Features tables of propagation data, photographs of antennasystems and graphs of results (e.g. radiation patterns, propagationcharacteristics)* Covers the fundamentals of antennas and propagation, as well asoffering an in-depth treatment of antenna elements and arrays forUWB systems, and UWB propagation models* Provides a description of the underlying concepts for thedesign of antennas and arrays for conventional as well asultra-wideband systems* Draws together UWB theory by using case-studies to showapplications of antennas and propagation in communication, radarand imaging systemsThe book highlights the unique design issues of usingultra-wideband and will serve both as an introductory text and areference guide for designers and students alike.
