This book discusses the active and passive radar cross section (RCS) estimation and techniques to examine the low observable aerospace platforms. It begins with the fundamentals of RCS, followed by the dielectric, magnetic and metamaterials parameters of the constituent materials and then explains various methods and the emerging trends followed in this area of study. The RCS estimation of phased array including the mutual coupling effect is also presented in detail in the book. The active RCS reduction is carefully touched upon through the performance of phased arrays, sidelobe cancellers and mitigation of multipath effect. Providing information on various adaptive algorithms like least mean square (LMS), recursive least square (RLS) and weighted least square algorithms, the authors also mention the recent developments in the area of embedded antennas, conformal load bearing antenna, metamaterials and frequency selective surface (FSS) based RCS reduction.

"Electromagnetic Fields in Stratified Media" deals with an important branch of electromagnetic theory, which has many useful applications in subsurface communication, radar, and geophysical prospecting and diagnostics. The book introduces to the electromagnetic theory and wave propagation in complex media, while presenting detailed models for various media: 3, 4, N-layered media, boundary conditions, and anisotropic media. In particular, the complete solutions for a trapped surface wave and lateral wave in a three- or four-layered region, the complete solutions for low frequency wave propagation over a spherical surface coated with a dielectric layer, and the transient field of a horizontal dipole in the boundary layer of two different media are presented. The book is designed for the scientists and engineers engaged in antennas and propagation, EM theory and applications. Dr. Kai Li is Professor at Zhejiang University.

This book describes both known and new results. In the sections devoted to the use of integral equations for the current in a linear metal radiator, the focus is on Leontovich's equation. An advantage of this equation is the simplicity of the solution and the absence of the argument φ in it because the integration over φ already performed. The refined solution makes it possible to determine the total sum of the series for the current, which is close to the known solution including only the first terms. The results of the synthesis of different types of antennas with capacitive loads are presented, which makes it possible to implement Hallen's hypothesis about the usefulness of applying such loads to create an in-phase current distribution in antennas and to obtain required characteristics. New results include the widespread use of the complex potential method in relation to the calculation of capacitive structures in homogeneous and inhomogeneous media, antenna patterns and flows of electrical fields between antenna elements and in the surrounding space. In particular, the analysis of field flows makes it possible to substantiate a rigorous method for analyzing microstrip antennas. The characteristics of antennas in various conditions of their installation are considered and compared. The results of the use of multi-floors structures that provide in the wide frequency range the radiation in direction perpendicular to the antenna axis, and structures that make it possible to reduce the mutual influence of antennas located at different heights on a common mast are described.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of design and analysis of microwave devices and circuits for 5G and beyond wireless communication systems. It focuses on modern microwave antennas, filters, metamaterials, and MIMO systems. It includes a design approach based on Artificial Intelligence and the practical use of microwave devices and circuits in commercial, medical, and military applications. Microwave Devices and Circuits for Advanced Wireless Communications: Design and Analysis explores the performance of microwave devices and circuits by highlighting the difficulties encountered by researchers and designers such as latency, interoperability, wireless coexistence, data streaming, safety, security, and privacy. The book explores the most important aspects of antenna design, including radiation pattern control, impedance matching with bandwidth improvement, and gain enhancement. It also examines different categories of metasurfaces, including frequency-selective surfaces (FSS) and electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures, and their distinct roles in antenna design. Additionally, the book examines concepts such as ultra-wideband (UWB) radar for 5G millimeter wave applications, and advanced techniques such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), beam-forming, compressed sensing, and diffraction tomography for enabling high-resolution imaging across wider application areas. The authors also present an overview on applying machine learning (ML) techniques to advanced wireless communication for signal-processing tasks such as signal denoising, equalization, and modulation recognition. They then discuss the potential significance of UAV communication systems in achieving seamless connection, quality of service (QoS), as well as the difficulties and potential remedies involved in building dependable networks using UAVs. Throughout the book the authors offer a critical assessment of the strengths and limitations of each topic and approach presented, thus providing valuable guidance for future research in this exciting field. This book will be helpful for graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in the area of design and reliability of circuits for microwave and communication systems.
