The utility of the planar methodology is illustrated with example measurement campaigns that include discussion of the characterisation of a wide range of antennas. The second edition brings the text right up to date. Advanced techniques including non-canonical transforms, scattering suppression techniques, equivalent current based diagnostics, extrapolation range measurements, use of multi-axis industrial robots and UAV drones for data acquisition are now included, together with a greatly expanded treatment of uncertainty analysis and planar range assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA large number of near-field facilities exist worldwide but to the authors' knowledge no single text provides a clear step-by-step description of all the details of the planar near-field measurement technique. All three authors have spent a significant proportion of their professional careers involved with antenna measurements and the aim of this text is to provide the reader with a complete, comprehensive, and practical text that will act as a single reference for all aspects of the measurement technique.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements, 2nd Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is aimed at electromagnetics students, researchers and professionals, especially those concerned with electromagnetics metrology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Gregson, John McCormick, Clive Parini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839536993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839536991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SciTech Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.38d","brand":"Stuart Gregson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213102149887,"sku":"9781839536991","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f45e6cab-60ac-4043-840f-7c9f07daf582.jpg?v=1692112084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principles-of-planar-near-field-antenna-stuart-gregson-9781839536991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
