This is the first comprehensive treatment of slotted waveguide array antennas from an engineering perspective. It provides readers with a thorough foundation in applicable theories as well as hands-on instruction for practical analysis and design of important types of waveguide slot arrays. Slotted Waveguide Array Antennas goes beyond some of the commonly discussed topics and ventures into areas that include: higher order mode coupling and edge effects; performance optimisation in terms of bandwidth and pattern performance; special slot excitation methods; applications such as monopulse and phase steering; and manufacturing tolerances. With specific examples of waveguide array designs, accompanied by detailed illustrations and antenna characteristics and many applications, this is a must-have reference for engineers involved in the design and development of slotted waveguide arrays. Additional value is provided by a thorough overview of the related literature in the field and the introductory chapters that include the history of these antennas.

For more than 40 years Lars Josefsson was with Ericsson Microwave Systems AB in Mölndal, Sweden, where he became responsible for new antenna technology and systems, internal R&D projects and internal education relating to antennas. In 2003 he formed his own consulting company: Lars Microwave. In 2004 he received the Thulin Silver Medal from the Swedish Aeronautical Society for his contributions to several generations of airborne radar antenna developments. He is the author and co-author of more than 100 scientific publications on antenna technology.Sembiam R. Rengarajan is a Professor at California State University, Northridge, USA. In addition to teaching electromagnetics and antenna courses, he has performed significant research in topics on applications of electromagnetics to antennas, scattering, and microwave components. Much of his research has dealt with slotted waveguide array antennas. He has published more than 240 journal articles and conference presentations, and serves as the Chair of USNC-URSI.
