Substrate Integrated Antennas and Arrays

This book provides a single source for cutting-edge information on substrate integrated circuit (SIC) and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna technologies. The text describes an SIC-based antenna technique with the potential to replace existing antenna technologies, examines theoretical and experimental results connected to electrical and mechanical performance, and explains how to overcome difficulties in meeting bandwidth, gain, and efficiency specifications. It presents research useful to the development of wireless communication base station antennas, portable microwave point-to-point systems, collision avoidance radars, conformal antennas, and satellite antennas.
