RF Antenna Beam Forming: Focusing and Steering in Near and Far Field (RF天線波束成形：近場與遠場的聚焦與引導)

本書旨在為科學界、研究與開發工程師以及大學學生提供指導。書中解釋了無線頻率天線波束形成的基本原理。近場和遠場的波束聚焦與波束導向原理透過2D和3D模擬進行可視化，並與測量結果進行比較。除了線性和平面天線陣列外，本書還探討並呈現了適用於特定應用的符合性陣列，即凹面和凸面天線陣列。此外，還詳細討論了開環和閉環波束形成的相關應用，以及大規模MIMO技術，這是5G和未來6G的突破性技術之一，涉及大量天線元件以實現多用戶波束形成。本書還涵蓋了大規模天線陣列以及天線元件之間具有電氣大距離的稀疏天線陣列。

Dr. Shun-Ping Chen studied Electrical Engineering with majors in High Frequency Engineering, Telecommunication Technologies and Systems at the Technical University Braunschweig, Germany and received his Dr.-Ing. (Ph.D.) degree with a thesis on Investigation of Various Components of the Optoelectronic Integration in 1992 before he worked as Research and Development Engineer and Project Manager at the research center of Fuba, engaged in Microwave Engineering, Antenna Design, Broadband CATV Network Planning and Optimization projects. In 1995, he became Project Engineer, Project Manager, Group Leader, and Head of Department at the German Mobile Network Operator E-Plus, now merged into O2 Telefonica Germany, where he was responsible for Transport Network Planning & Systems, and also proposed and conducted the Fiber Optical SDH/DWDM Backbone Network Project. From 2003 until 2008 he was CTO and IT Director of different German Companies in the fields of Electronics, News Media, and Transport Logistics. Since 2008 Dr. Chen is Professor of Communication Technologies and Networks at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Germany.

Dr. Heinz Schmiedel studied Electrical Engineering at the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen--University of Applied Sciences and received his Bachelor's degree in 1975. He earned his Master's degree and Dr.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from University Bremen in 1979 and 1983, respectively. Research interests were in the field of simulating and designing microwave components. After he joined Deutsche Bundespost (now Deutsche Telekom), he did research on satellite links with the Research Institute of Deutsche Bundespost, Darmstadt, Germany. From 1990 to 2020, he was Professor with the University of Applied Sciences FH Dieburg, Germany, with teaching and research emphasis on microwave components and systems. Since 2000, he is with the University of Applied Sciences Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany. His continued teaching and research interests are in the field of microwave components and systems, measurement technology, satellite communications, and numerical optimization procedures.

陳順平博士於德國布倫瑞克工業大學攻讀電機工程，主修高頻工程、電信技術與系統，並於1992年獲得博士學位，論文主題為光電整合各種元件的研究。在此之後，他在Fuba研究中心擔任研究與開發工程師及專案經理，參與微波工程、天線設計、寬頻CATV網路規劃與優化專案。1995年，他成為德國行動網路運營商E-Plus的專案工程師、專案經理、團隊領導及部門主管，該公司現已併入O2 Telefonica Germany，他負責傳輸網路規劃與系統，並提出及執行光纖SDH/DWDM骨幹網路專案。從2003年至2008年，他擔任多家德國公司的首席技術官及資訊技術總監，這些公司涉及電子、新聞媒體及運輸物流領域。自2008年以來，陳博士擔任德國達姆施塔特應用科技大學的通信技術與網路教授。

海因茲·施密德爾博士於中黑森應用科技大學攻讀電機工程，並於1975年獲得學士學位。他於1979年和1983年分別在不來梅大學獲得電機工程碩士學位及博士學位。研究興趣集中在微波元件的模擬與設計。加入德國聯邦郵政（現為德國電信）後，他在德國達姆施塔特的德國聯邦郵政研究所進行衛星鏈路的研究。從1990年至2020年，他在德國FH Dieburg應用科技大學擔任教授，教學與研究重點為微波元件與系統。自2000年以來，他在德國達姆施塔特應用科技大學任教，持續的教學與研究興趣包括微波元件與系統、測量技術、衛星通信及數值優化程序。
