Substrate Integrated Antennas and Arrays provides a single source for cutting-edge information on substrate integrated circuits (SICs), substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) feeding networks, SIW slot array antennas, SIC traveling-wave antennas, SIW feeding antennas, SIW monopulse antennas, and SIW multibeam antennas. Inspired by the author's extensive research, this comprehensive book:
- Describes a revolutionary SIC-based antenna technique with the potential to replace existing antenna technologies
- Examines theoretical and experimental results connected to electrical and mechanical performance
- Explains how to overcome difficulties in meeting bandwidth, gain, and efficiency specifications
Substrate Integrated Antennas and Arrays offers valuable insight into the state of the art of SIC and SIW antenna technologies, presenting research useful to the development of wireless communication base station antennas, portable microwave point-to-point systems, collision avoidance radars, conformal antennas, and satellite antennas.
"To the best of my knowledge, this is the first research monograph on substrate integrated antennas and arrays. This authoritative work has provided novel and practical microwave and millimeter wave planar antenna design techniques based on the SIW concept. Written by an outstanding expert in the field ? contains the most up-to-date theory, design, and prototyping of substrate integrated antennas and arrays."-Duixian Liu, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York"Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) is a very important technology for millimetre-wave circuits and array antennas in satellite communications and 5G mobile systems where low loss is critical. This book is comprehensive and timely, and will be a useful reference for graduate students and RF engineers."-Steven Gao, University of Kent
