Abstract

From the Publisher:"Switched Parasitic Antennas for Cellular Communications introduces practitioners to the basic concepts and wide range of potential applications of switched parasitic antennas, including smart antennas for wireless communications. The book's clear, detailed discussion of design rules for both wire and patch antenna structures, together with their circuit requirements, offers the knowledge needed to successfully design and implement low-cost, small, switched parasitic antennas for a variety of uses." Presenting information typically not found in other books, the authors explore the numerous advantages of these antennas - including high-speed signal acquisition, fixed input impedance, low loss, and small footprint. Professionals find practical design examples, strategies, and optimization methods for designing economical switched parasitic antennas for applications such as direction finding and multibeam communications systems. Cutting-edge technologies and applications such as MEMs RF switches are also discussed.
