Preface
During the past decades, new demands for sophisticated space-age communication
and remote sensing systems prompted a surge of R&D activities in the antenna
field. There has been an awareness, in the professional community, of the ne~d for
a systematic and critical review of the progress made in those activities. This is
evidenced by the sudden appearance of many excellent books on the subject after
a long dormant period in the sixties and seventies. The goal of this book is to
compile a reference to complement those books. We believe that this has been
achieved to a great degree.
A book of this magnitude cannot be completed without difficulties. We are
indebted to many for their dedication and patience and, in particular, to the forty
two contributing authors. Our first thanks go to Mr. Charlie Dresser and Dr.
Edward C. Jordan, who initiated the project and persuaded us to make it a reality.
After smooth sailing in the first period, the original sponsoring publisher had some
unexpected financial problems which delayed its publication three years. In 1988,
Van Nostrand Reinhold took over the publication tasks. There were many unsung
heroes who devoted their talents to the perfection of the volume. In particular,
Mr. Jack Davis spent many arduous hours editing the entire manuscript. Mr.
Thomas R. Emrick redrew practically all of the figures with extraordinary precision
and professionalism. Ms. Linda Venator, the last publication editor, tied up all of
the loose ends at the final stage, including the preparation of the Index. Without
their dedication and professionalism, the publication of this book would not have
been possible.
Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to our teachers, students,
and colleagues for their interest and comments. We are particularly indebted to
Professor Edward C. Jordan and Professor George A. Deschamps for their
encouragement and teaching, which have had a profound influence on our careers
and on our ways of thinking about the matured field of electromagnetics and
antennas.
This Preface was originally prepared for the first printing in 1988. Unfortunately, it was omitted at that
time due to a change in the publication schedule. Since many readers questioned the lack of a Preface,
we are pleased to include it here, and in all future printings.

Preface to the Second
Printing
Since the publication of the first printing, we have received many constructive
comments from the readers. The foremost was the bulkiness of a single volume for
this massive book. The issue of dividing the book into multivolumes had been
debated many times. Many users are interested in specific topics and not neces
sarily the entire book. To meet both needs, the publisher decided to reprint the
book in multivolumes. We received this news with great joy, because we now have
the opportunity to correct the typos and to insert the original Preface, which
includes a heartfelt acknowledgment to all who contributed to this work.
We regret to announce the death of Professor Edward C. Jordan on October
18, 1991.
