1st Edition by Martin Stumpf (Author)
Provides a self-contained account on applications of electromagnetic reciprocity theorems to multiport antenna systems
The
reciprocity theorem is among the most intriguing concepts in wave field
theory and has become an integral part of almost all standard textbooks
on electromagnetic (EM) theory. This book makes use of the theorem to
quantitatively describe EM interactions concerning general multiport
antenna systems. It covers a general reciprocity-based description of
antenna systems, their EM scattering properties, and further related
aspects.
Beginning with an introduction to the subject, Electromagnetic Reciprocity in Antenna Theory
provides readers first with the basic prerequisites before offering
coverage of the equivalent multiport circuit antenna representations, EM
coupling between multiport antenna systems and their EM interactions
with scatterers, accompanied with the corresponding EM compensation
theorems.
In addition, the text:
- Presents basic
prerequisites including the definition of the notation, integral
transformations, and EM reciprocity theorems in their general form
- Explores multiport antenna forward-scattering theorem, multiport antenna matching theorem and uniqueness theorem
- Supplements each chapter with a solved illustrative example
Electromagnetic Reciprocity in Antenna Theory is an excellent text for EMC and antenna researchers and students of the subject as well.
