The book is aimed at final year, MSc, PhD and Post-Doctoral students, as well as readers who are moving from academia into industry, beginning careers as wireless engineers, system designers, in R\u0026amp;D, or for practising engineers.   \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     It assumes the reader has undertaken an earlier course of study on Maxwell's equations, fields and waves. Some of these topics are summarised in the early few chapters in order to provide continuity and background for the remaining chapters. The aperture antennas covered include the main types of horns, reflectors and arrays as well as microstrip patches, reflectarrays and lenses. To provide more than a superficial treatment of arrays, the topic of mutual coupling is covered in greater detail than most similar books in the area. Also included is an introduction to arrays on non-planar surfaces, which is of importance for applications that involve curved surfaces such as in aerodynamics or for making aperture antennas unobtrusive. A chapter is included on some modern aperture antennas to illustrate design techniques beyond the most common types of aperture antennas described in the early chapters. This is to show where advances have recently been made and where they could be improved in the future. Also included are selected topics of a practical nature for aperture antennas, namely fabrication and measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgement xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Background Theory 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Fields Radiated by an Aperture 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Waveguide and Horn Antennas 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Microstrip Patch Antenna 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Reflector Antennas 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Arrays of Aperture Antennas 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Conformal Arrays of Aperture Antennas 307\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Reflectarrays and Other Aperture Antennas 335\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Aperture Antennas in Application 357\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A: Useful Identities 391\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix B: Bessel Functions 395\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix C: Proof of Stationary Behaviour of Mutual Impedance 403\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix D: Free-Space Dyadic Magnetic Green’s Function 405\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix E: Complex Fresnel Integrals 407\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix F: Properties of Hankel Transform Functions 411\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix G: Properties of Fock Functions for Convex Surfaces 413\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 421\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 423\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrevor S.
