Perspectives in Antenna Technology - Recent Advances and Systems Applications

The definitive volume of recent innovations in antenna technology developed for a wide variety of system applications at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Antenna technology plays a key role in enabling next-generation sensing and communications for ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne systems across a wide spectrum of frequencies and applications. Advances in RF microelectronics, commercial high-volume manufacturing and packaging, high-fidelity modeling and simulation tools, and affordable high-speed digital signal processing offer new options for next-generation antenna systems. The contributors are all from Lincoln Laboratory. Developments covered include those aimed at reducing the cost of phased array antennas by leveraging high-volume printed circuit board manufacturing and highly integrated packaging techniques; novel solutions to enable ultra-lightweight deployable antennas for space and airborne applications; vector sensor arrays; two unique imaging radar systems--a video-rate microwave imaging system for person-borne concealed threat detection and a system capable of ultrawideband imaging of satellites; simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) antennas; a variety of novel wideband array antennas, including dual-polarized stepped-notch arrays and coupled dipole arrays; and several types of custom millimeter wave (mmWave) antennas.
