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.
