This is the first book to focus specifically on antenna RCS reduction theory and design approaches. It covers both principles and engineering practice, and provides an in-depth study of a number of important topics, including fundamental theory, antenna and array analysis models, the rapid numerical computation method, and various low-RCS antenna design methods. The comprehensive and systematic discussion of practical issues in antenna RCS reduction makes it an ideal resource for readers interested in practical solutions to antenna stealth, particularly researchers, engineers and graduate students in the fields of microwave engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and telecommunications engineering.
Ying Liu received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electromagnetics from Xidian University, Xi’an, China, in 2001 and 2004 respectively. From 2006 to 2007, she carried on postdoctoral research in Hanyang University in Seoul Korea. She is currently full Professor in the School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University. She is the author of two books Prediction and Reduction of Antenna Radar Cross Section (Xi’an: Xidian University Press, 2010, in Chinese), and Antennas for Mobile Communication Systems (Beijing: Electronics Industry Press, 2011, in Chinese). She has authored or coauthored over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles. Her current research interests include low-RCS antennas, base-station and terminal antennas, characteristic modes and multi-mode technology, and metasurface.
Dr. Liu received the 17th China Young Women Scientist Award in 2021 and the 17th China Youth Science and Technology Award in 2022.
