This book aims at describing the wide variety of new technologies and concepts of non-standard antenna systems – reconfigurable, integrated, terahertz, deformable, ultra-wideband, using metamaterials, or MEMS, etc, and how they open the way to a wide range of applications, from personal security and communications to multifunction radars and towed sonars, or satellite navigation systems, with space-time diversity on transmit and receive.

A reference book for designers in this lively scientific community linking antenna experts and signal processing engineers.

François Le Chevalier is in charge of the "Radar Systems Engineering" Chair at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, and Scientific Director of Thales Air Operations Division in Rungis, France.

Dominique Lesselier is currently with the Laboratoire des Signaux et Systèmes, a joint laboratory of CNRS, Supélec, and Université Paris-Sud 11, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. His main research activity pertains to the development of solution methods of wave-field inverse problems, from mathematical theory to numerical solutions to pertinent applications, and vice versa.
