From the method of moments to EMC

Presents the author´s experiences at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa where a 24 lecture course on antennas and propagation was first introduced into the final year electrical engineering curriculum in 1981. Following his appointment from industry the author made a conscious decision at an early stage to emphasize the basic aspects of antenna theory, the inter-relationships between antennas and their environment, the calculability of characteristics and performance and the significance of, what was soon referred to as, electromagnetic engineering, in the modern world. The course evolved from the purely blackboard-based lecture situation to one which involved computer simulation, written project reports, case studies and site visits
