Topband: Phased Array Book

[K9AY]

While this book has good coverage of array fundamentals, its emphasis is 
primarily the higher frequencies (VHF into microwaves). And it's quite 
theoretical, with lots of math, since it was likely written as a textbook 
for a graduate-level EE class - with additional value as a reference for 
working engineers. Might be a bit much for a non-EE ham.

It could be a worthwhile addition to your library if a cheap copy was 
discovered at a hamfest or garage sale. Publishers list price is US$170, 
although usually discounted 10% or more.
