Book reviews - Analysis of reflector antennas

The Analysis of the Reflector Antenna is a monograph which documents the recent advances in the theory of reflectors developed during the space program and particularly of the work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It is written for the engineer who needs to understand the design and performance limitations of reflector antennas. While it is not a text book, it may also prove useful in engineering introduction courses on diffraction. The book is divided into three sections: 1) the mathematical theory of diffraction, 2) the definition and calculation of antenna parameters, and 3) the use of digital computers in the analysis and design of reflector antennas and feed systems.
