"This book captures the entire technology of satellite ground station antennas in all its aspects, offering material for engineers who specify and design, oversee construction, and complete the final compliance testing of satellite ground station antennas. It has long been acknowledged that the ground station environment is harsh, as it is consistently open to unpredictable weather and other interference, unlike the airborne antenna environment which is relatively static. An immensely accessible book, it can be read as the complete presentation that it is, or accessed by individual chapters, and both intermediary and advanced engineers can find content that can challenge. Mathematical content is offered for those who seek it, but it can be overlooked without lessening the enjoyment or understanding of the book. It is intended as a complete presentation of satellite antennas for designers across the electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering fields, written by an expert, and brought up to date by industry practitioners currently working in the technology."-- Provided by publisher.
