[Contains] more lengthy mathematical derivations than most {comparable books] â for arrays provides for a unique stand-alone mathematical description that can be adopted by anyone trying to communicate the theoretical foundation for their array designâhas insights from a practitioner that are unique. The MATLABÂ scripts alone are worth the price. âDaniel C. Ross Ph. D Northrop Grumman Corporation Electronically Scanned Arrays: MATLABÂ Modeling and Simulation is considered the first book to provide comprehensive modeling/simulation programs used to design and analyze Electronically Scanned Arrays (ESA) a key technology internationally in the scientific and engineering communities. Several books have been written about ESAs but most cover only fundamental theory. Few if any provide the insightful easy-to-use simulation tools found in this book. Obviously MATLABÂ is one of the greatest tools available for exploring and understanding science and engineering concepts and we use MATLAB functions to easily and instantly calculate ESA patterns. However to achieve a truly insightful and in-depth analysis of subarray architectures conformal arrays etc. it is imperative that users first develop a firm grasp of ESA fundamentals. Covers largely unexplored topics such as reliability aspects and the application of ESAs in space This volume helps readers build that elemental understanding of how ESAs work. It also provides code to run as an aid so that readers donât have to start from scratch. The book expands on ESA principles and provides a modeling framework using MATLAB to model applications of ESAs (i. e. pattern optimization space-based applications and reliability analysis). Presented code serves as an excellent vehicle to help readers master the analysis and simulation of ESAs. Exploring how difficult problems can be simplified with short elegant solutions this is an invaluable resource for students and others new to ESAs as well as experienced practicing engineers who model ESAs at the systems level. .
