Summary
Summary
Modern radar, telecommunication, sonar, and radio-astronomy systems use integrated systems, complex signals, and signal processing methods exten sively. These systems require the development of new, more efficient systems. One of the major ways to improve radar and sonar systems is to use multichannel systems, the most promising of which employ space-time signal processing. In the last few years the intensive growth in electronics, informa tion processing techniques, microwave and laser technology, electrooptics and holography, acoustics, and optoelectronics have resulted in new scientific and technological research fronts. One of these is the theory and technology of electrooptical array antennas-a new class of receiving antennas whose pat tern is controlled by means of coherent optics and holography. Electrooptical array theory and technology have been involved in the study of the power, resolution, and range characteristics of arrays with various coherent opti cal processors. The practical applications of these systems and methods for building them using contemporary optoelectronics have also been studied.

Choice Review
An excellent introduction to electrooptical arrays, an area of growing interest with wide-ranging applications, both military and commercial. This book presents the latest development on the theory and technology of a new class of radio antennas that are directly controlled by coherent optics and holography. Based on the authors' original work, the material presents the theory of electrooptical array antennas, the methodology for forming and processing coherent optical arrays, and finally a comparison of various electrooptical array components and their designs. Though highly technical, the book reads well. Many mathematical derivations are removed from the text and supplied as appendixes. A beginning list of basic mathematical terms and abbreviations is exremely helpful, and a long list of references helps direct astute readers to further books in the area. Of great interest to those doing research in the area of electrooptical arrays, and highly recommended for research libraries. -J. Y. Cheung, University of Oklahoma
