Adaptive Array Systems (PDF)

In the last fifty years, extensive studies have been carried out
worldwide in the field of adaptive array systems. However, far from
being a mature technology with little research left to tackle,
there is seemingly unlimited scope to develop the fundamental
characteristics and applications of adaptive antennas for future 3G
and 4G mobile communications systems, ultra wideband wireless and
satellite and navigation systems, and this informative text shows
you how!

* Provides an accessible resource on adaptive array fundamentals
as well as coverage of adaptive algorithms and advanced topics

* Analyses the performance of various wideband beamforming
techniques in wideband array processing

* Comprehensively covers implementation issues related to such
elements as circular arrays, channel modelling and transmit beam
forming, highlighting the challenges facing a designer during the
development phase

* Supports practical implementation considerations with detailed
case studies on wideband arrays, radar, sonar and biomedical
imaging, terrestrial wireless systems and satellite communication
systems

* Includes examples and problems throughout to aid
understanding

* Companion website features Solutions Manual, Matlab Programs
and Electronic versions of some figures

Adaptive Array Systems is essential reading for senior
undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the
field of adaptive array systems. It will also have instant appeal
to engineers and designers in industry engaged in developing and
deploying the technology. This volume will also be invaluable to
those working in radar, sonar and bio-medical applications.
