In the last fifty years, extensive studies have been carried out
worldwide in the field of adaptive array systems. However, far from
being a mature technology with little research left to tackle,
there is seemingly unlimited scope to develop the fundamental
characteristics and applications of adaptive antennas for future 3G
and 4G mobile communications systems, ultra wideband wireless and
satellite and navigation systems, and this informative text shows
you how!

* Provides an accessible resource on adaptive array fundamentals
as well as coverage of adaptive algorithms and advanced topics

* Analyses the performance of various wideband beamforming
techniques in wideband array processing

* Comprehensively covers implementation issues related to such
elements as circular arrays, channel modelling and transmit beam
forming, highlighting the challenges facing a designer during the
development phase

* Supports practical implementation considerations with detailed
case studies on wideband arrays, radar, sonar and biomedical
imaging, terrestrial wireless systems and satellite communication
systems

* Includes examples and problems throughout to aid
understanding

* Companion website features Solutions Manual, Matlab Programs
and Electronic versions of some figures

Adaptive Array Systems is essential reading for senior
undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the
field of adaptive array systems. It will also have instant appeal
to engineers and designers in industry engaged in developing and
deploying the technology. This volume will also be invaluable to
those working in radar, sonar and bio-medical applications.

Autor

Ben Allen completed his MSc and PhD degrees at the University of Bristol, U.K., in 1997 and 2001 respectively. Having undertaken post-doctorial research in the areas of smart antennas andMIMOwireless systems, he then became a lecturer at the Centre for Telecommunications Research, King's College London where he co-founded the UWB research group. He is now with the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. He has published numerous journal and conference papers in the above areas as well as a book on smart antennas. He has been in receipt of the IEE J Langham Thomson Premium and the ARMMS Best Paper Award, both for publications relating to UWB. He is a senior member of the IEEE, chartered engineer, member of the IEE, and a member of the IEE's Professional Network Executive Committee on Antennas and Propagation. puter Science Contest, Pakistan, in 1998. He is a member of the IEEE and the IET, and serves on the UK Task Group on Mobile and Terrestrial Propagation. Mohammad Ghavami is Reader at the Centre for Telecommunications Research, King's College London. From 1998 to 2000 he was a JSPS Postdoctoral fellow in Yokohama National University, Japan, and from 2000 to 2002 he was a researcher at the Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. in Tokyo, Japan.
