foreword to the revised edition
The purpose of the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory is to publish
books of long-term archival significance in electromagnetics. Included are new titles as
well as reprints and revisions of recognized classics. The book Antenna Theory and De-
sign, by Robert S. Elliott is one such classic.
In the case of antennas and Robert S. Elliott, I should like to be personal. Much of
the material that forms the basis of Antenna Theory and Design I studied as a graduate
student under Bob Elliott's guidance at UCLA in the late 1950's and early 1960's. This
material became the fundamental background for me during my ten-year antenna design
and development career at Hughes Aircraft Company and, what was then, North American
Rockwell. The notes I compiled in his courses later became the foundation for two anten-
na courses when I nioved on to the University of Arizona in 1968.
Antenna theory can be studied, assimilated, and then written down in a textbook
with little practical experience. Antenna design is another matter entirely. Bob Elliott's ca-
reer has been in actuality two careers in one. He has contributed significantly to antenna
and microwave component design and development at Hughes Aircraft Company and
Rantec Corporation while also forming and leading a strong, internationally recognized
antenna and microwave program at UCLA. The book, Antenna Theory and Design, re-
flects the breadth and depth of coverage that such a background would suggest. As a re-
sult, the book is useful to academics and also to practitioners in industry and government
laboratories.
Professor Elliott has been an internationally well-known contributor to electromag-
netic~fo r many years. He is universally regarded among his peers and students as an elec-
tromagnetic scholar. As an example, his clear and groundbreaking exposition on electro-
magnetics and its relationship to the special theory of relativity appears in the
widely-regarded book, Electromagnetics; History, Theory, and Applications. This scholar-
ly work was added to the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory in 1993.
Professor Elliott is a Fellow of the IEEE (1961). Prior to his retirement from active
teaching, he was the Hughes Distinguished Professor of Electromagnetics at UCLA.
Among his teaching awards, he was elected Best Teacher, UCLA Campus-Wide (1 983)
and has been elected Best Teacher, UCLA College of Engineering, four times. Among his
many professional honors, he was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineer-
ing (1988). The IEEiE Antennas and Propagation Society (APS) awarded him the APS
