First, it introduces the fundamental methodologies of space antenna design, modelling and analysis as well as the state-of-the-art and anticipated future technological developments. Each of the topics discussed are specialized and contextualized to the space sector. Furthermore, case studies are also provided to demonstrate the design and implementation of antennas in actual applications. Second, the authors present a detailed review of antenna designs for some popular applications such as satellite communications, space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers, science instruments, radio astronomy, small satellites, and deep-space applications. Finally it presents the reader with a comprehensive path from space antenna development basics to specific individual applications. Key Features: Presents a detailed review of antenna designs for applications such as satellite communications, space-borne SAR, GNSS receivers, science instruments, small satellites, radio astronomy, deep-space applications Addresses the space antenna development from different angles, including electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical design strategies required for space qualification Includes numerous case studies to demonstrate how to design and implement antennas in practical scenarios Offers both an introduction for students in the field and an in-depth reference for antenna engineers who develop space antennas This book serves as an excellent reference for researchers, professionals and graduate students in the fields of antennas and propagation, electromagnetics, RF/microwave/millimetrewave systems, satellite communications, radars, satellite remote sensing, satellite navigation and spacecraft system engineering, It also aids engineersSummary: Space Antenna HANDBOOK -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Acronyms -- Contributors -- 1 Antenna Basics -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.2 Antenna Performance Parameters -- 1.2.1 Reflection Coefficient and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio -- 1.2.2 Antenna Impedance -- 1.2.3 Radiation Pattern and Coverage -- 1.2.4 Polarization -- 1.2.5 Directivity -- 1.2.6 Gain and Realized Gain -- 1.2.7 Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power -- 1.2.8 Effective Area -- 1.2.9 Phase Center -- 1.2.10 Bandwidth -- 1.2.11 Antenna Noise Temperature -- 1.3 Basic Antenna Elements -- 1.3.1 Wire Antennas -- 1.3.2 Horn Antennas -- 1.3.3 Reflectors -- 1.3.4 Helical Antennas -- 1.3.5 Printed Antennas -- 1.4 Arrays -- 1.4.1 Array Configurations -- 1.5 Basic Effects of Antennas in the Space Environment -- 1.5.1 Multipaction -- 1.5.2 Passive Inter-modulation -- 1.5.3 Outgassing -- References -- 2 Space Antenna Modeling -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.1.1 Maxwell's Equations -- 2.1.2 CEM -- 2.2 Methods of Antenna Modeling -- 2.2.1 Basic Theory -- 2.2.2 Method of Moments -- 2.2.3 FEM -- 2.2.4 FDTD Method -- 2.3 Fast Algorithms for Large Space Antenna Modeling -- 2.3.1 Introduction -- 2.3.2 MLFMA -- 2.3.3 Hierarchical Basis for the FEM -- 2.4 Case Studies: Effects of the Satellite Body on the Radiation Patterns of Antennas -- 2.5 Summary -- Acknowledgments -- References -- 3 System Architectures of Satellite Communication, Radar, Navigation and Remote Sensing -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Elements of Satellite System Architecture -- 3.3 Satellite Missions -- 3.4 Communications Satellites -- 3.4.1 Fixed Satellite Services -- 3.4.2 Broadcast Satellite Services (Direct Broadcast Services) -- 3.4.3 Digital Audio Radio Services -- 3.4.4 Direct to Home Broadband Services -- 3.4.5 Mobile Communications Services -- 3.5 Radar Satellites -- 3.6 Navigational Satellites -- 3.7 Remote Sensing Satellites.PPN: PPN: 809663813Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
