Active Electronically Scanned Arrays: Fundamentals and Applications
暫譯: 主動電子掃描陣列：基本原理與應用

An Introduction to Active Electronically Steered Array Fundamentals, provides a foundational introduction to Active Electronically Steered Arrays (AESAs). It is intended for professional engineers and engineering students who are new to AESAs. The book provides an overview of the primary subsystems of an AESA, detailed explanation of the key design concepts and fundamentals for each subsystem and concludes with performance results for various AESA architectures that are typically found in industry (Analog AESAs, Subarrayed AESAs, and Digital Beamforming AESAs). Topics covered in the book include: Â- AESA Overview Â- Antenna Array Elements Â- Transmit/Receive Modules Â- Beamformers Â- Downconverters Â- Exciters Â- Receivers Â- Performance for Different AESA Architectures The book provides a conceptual understanding of the key subsystems that comprise an AESA that is not found in another book. It is based upon the authorÂs 20 years of experience developing, designing and building AESAs for RADAR, SIGINT, Comms and Electronic Warfare. The reader of this book will be able to apply the fundamentals discussed in their daily profession.
