On a European Journey by David Houseley

This book focuses on performance enhancement of printed antennas using frequency selective surfaces (FS) technology. The growing demand of stealth technology in strategic areas requires high-performance low-RCS (radar cross section) antennas. Such requirements may be accomplished by incorporating FS into the antenna structure either in its ground plane or as the superstrate, due to the filter characteristics of FS structure. In view of this, a novel approach based on FS technology is presented in this book to enhance the performance of printed antennas including out-of-band structural RCS reduction. In this endeavor, the EM design of microstrip patch antennas (MPA) loaded with FS-based (i) high impedance surface (HIS) ground plane, and (ii) the superstrates are discussed in detail. The EM analysis of proposed FS-based antenna structures have been carried out using transmission line analogy, in combination with the reciprocity theorem. Further, various types of novel FS structures are considered in designing the HIS ground plane and superstrate for enhancing the MPA bandwidth and directivity. The EM design and performance analyses of FS-based antennas are explained here with the appropriate expressions and illustrations.

David Houseley and Philip Houseley organized Ipswich Town's European tours during the 1970s and 1980s, as the Supporters Club's official travel agents. Philip is an experienced travel writer and chairman of Ipswich Town Supporters for fifteen years. As a local radio commentator, he covered several Town games.
