"Millimeter-wave" wireless applications are
emerging at frequencies from 24 to 110 GHz.
Anticipated uses of this spectrum include data
transfer, highway safety, intelligent transport,
mobile satellite communications, civilian
ultrawideband radar, etc. In contrast to most
wireless services offered at lower frequencies,
typical millimeter-wave applications need to
steer or redirect wireless signals in order to track
a mobile target or user. Unfortunately, current
techniques for millimeter-wave beam steering are
limited mainly to aerospace/defense applications due
to the exuberant cost of the advanced integration
techniques and sophisticated technologies used in
existing design approaches. Responding to a need for
lower cost and improved manufacturability, this book
presents novel scanning antennas and inexpensive
phased arrays ideally suited for a wide range of
millimeter-wave applications. Clear design principles
and associated demonstrations are provided along with
all the information needed for the designer to
construct new systems based on these approaches.
