Finite Antenna Arrays and FSS

"The worldwide guru of FSS technology, Ben Munk has written a book that represents the epitome of practical understanding."
–W. Bahret, United States Air Force

Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) have various effects on incident electromagnetic waves, giving them a broad array of applications in such areas as broadband communications, antenna technology, satellite communications, and stealth technology. An instrumental participant in the development of stealth technology for the U.S. Air Force, Ben Munk brings unique authority to the subject. Extending his previous work, Frequency Selective Surfaces: Theory and Design (Wiley), Munk provides a thorough explanation of the technology of finite antenna arrays and techniques for minimizing their radar cross-section and extending their bandwidth.

Rather than merely using the currently popular numerical approach to engineering design, Finite Antenna Arrays and FSS adopts an analytical approach based on physical understanding, and then follows it with mathematical analysis, providing readers with a more concrete foundation for comprehending this complex field.
