Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to give an overview on some types of hypercomplex numbers and to stimulate a discussion on their possible uses for e.m. problems. As an application example related to antennas and propagation, the determination of the complex amplitude gain of an antenna using the three-antenna method is discussed. It is shown how a formulation in terms of vectors and matrices can be interpreted using hypercomplex numbers.
