MULTIFUNCTIONAL ANTENNAS AND ARRAYS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
SYSTEMS
Offers an up-to-date discussion of multifunctional antennas and arrays
for wireless communication systems
Multifunctional Antennas and Arrays for Wireless Communication Systems
is a comprehensive reference on state-of-the-art reconfigurable antennas
and 4G/5G communication antennas. The book gives a unique perspective
while giving a comprehensive overview of the following topics:
- Frequency reconfigurable antennas
- Pattern reconfigurable antennas
- Polarization reconfigurable antennas
- Reconfigurable antennas using Liquid Metal, Piezoelectric, and RF MEMS
- MIMO and 4G/5G wireless communication antennas
- Metamaterials and metasurfaces in reconfigurable antennas
- Multifunctional antennas for user equipments (UEs)
- Defense related antennas and applications
- Flat panel phased array antennas
The book is a valuable resource for the practicing engineer as well as
for those within the research field. As wireless communications
continuously evolves, more and more functionally will be required, and
thus multifunctional antennas and RF systems will be necessary. These
multifunctional antennas will require a degree of reconfigurability, and
this book discusses various methods which enable this. The main topics
of frequency, pattern, and polarization reconfigurability is first
discussed. Methods utilizing unique materials and devices, both real and
artificial are discussed. The book also delves into 4G/5G antennas as it
relates to MIMO, and millimeter-wave phased arrays. Finally, there is a
section on defense related multifunctional RF antenna systems.
