Book reviews - Statistical antenna theory

This is the seventh in a series of books published by the Golem Press in Electromagnetics. This book deals mainly with the following problem: If the statistical characteristics of the field over the aperture or length of an antenna are assumed to be known, what are the statistical characteristics of its radiant pattern, gain, beamwidth, etc. such as mean value, fluctuations, and correlations. The treatment goes much beyond the usual antenna tolerance theory, which normally deals with only with small errors in the excitation and small correlation distance.
