Ultra-Wideband Antennas and Propagation 
For Communications, Radar and Imaging

Providing up-to-date material for UWB antennas and propagation as
used in a wide variety of applications, ‘Ultra-wideband Antennas
and Propagation for Communications, Radar and Imaging’ includes
fundamental theory, practical design information and extensive
discussion of UWB applications from biomedical imaging, through to
radar and wireless communications.

An in-depth treatment of ultra-wideband signals in practical
environments is given, including interference, coexistence and
diversity considerations. The text includes antennas and
propagation in biological media in addition to more conventional
environments. The topics covered are approached with the aim of
helping practising engineers to view the subject from a different
angle, and to consider items as variables that were treated as
constants in narrowband and wideband systems.

* Features tables of propagation data, photographs of antenna
systems and graphs of results (e.g. radiation patterns, propagation
characteristics)

* Covers the fundamentals of antennas and propagation, as well as
offering an in-depth treatment of antenna elements and arrays for
UWB systems, and UWB propagation models

* Provides a description of the underlying concepts for the
design of antennas and arrays for conventional as well as
ultra-wideband systems

* Draws together UWB theory by using case-studies to show
applications of antennas and propagation in communication, radar
and imaging systems

The book highlights the unique design issues of using
ultra-wideband and will serve both as an introductory text and a
reference guide for designers and students alike.
