The utility of the planar methodology is illustrated with example measurement campaigns that include discussion of the characterisation of a wide range of antennas. The second edition brings the text right up to date. Advanced techniques including non-canonical transforms, scattering suppression techniques, equivalent current based diagnostics, extrapolation range measurements, use of multi-axis industrial robots and UAV drones for data acquisition are now included, together with a greatly expanded treatment of uncertainty analysis and planar range assessment.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">A large number of near-field facilities exist worldwide but to the authors' knowledge no single text provides a clear step-by-step description of all the details of the planar near-field measurement technique. All three authors have spent a significant proportion of their professional careers involved with antenna measurements and the aim of this text is to provide the reader with a complete, comprehensive, and practical text that will act as a single reference for all aspects of the measurement technique.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"><i>Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements, 2nd Edition</i> is aimed at electromagnetics students, researchers and professionals, especially those concerned with electromagnetics metrology.</p>Fri, 03 Mar 2023 14:12:41 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/principles-of-planar-near-field-antenna-measurements-2nd-editionhttps://shop.theiet.org:443/princ-planar-near-field-meas<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This single volume provides a comprehensive introduction and explanation of both the theory and practice of 'Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurement' from its basic postulates and assumptions, to the intricacies of its deployment in complex and demanding measurement scenarios.
