Re: "Projector of the Sharpest Beam of Electric Waves"
Indeed, and I think I have most of them in my library.
Today, I had the foresight to grab both volumes of "Antenna Theory" from my office at work. Parasitic arrays are discussed in Volume 1, pp

EM slow waves
In a PM Kai mentioned "EM slow wave structures", something I'd never heard of. I started this as a reply to him, but decided it might be of more general interest to the list.

Collin was a somewhat prolific writer of text books about EM fields, propagation and antennas. I think he was the author or co-author of six or seven different books.

Re: "Projector of the Sharpest Beam of Electric Waves"
An excellent history of the above is contained in Bruce R. Hunt¡¯s ¡°The Maxwellians¡±, which, IIRC, includes a comparison of Maxwell¡¯s original equations and Heaviside¡¯s final forms using

Re: "Projector of the Sharpest Beam of Electric Waves"
Do *not* underestimate the power of "operational mathematics". Oliver Heaviside was correctly solving problems that the mathematicians couldn't solve for years before some of them were intrepid

On that note, another book by Collin ("Antennas and Radiowave Propagation) that isn't in my work office has this to say about parasitic arrays:

Might be worth trying on a Pi 4. It is _much_ more powerful than any previous Pi.

I see one copy available. $485. Wow.
I bought my set used in the early 80s when I was collecting all of Collin¡¯s work. I think I paid around $100 for the set.

Thank you, Sean.
Yes, that is a very good set of texts about antennas. I haven¡¯t looked in a while, but I believe it is now completely unavailable. Krieger or someone (is Dover still around?)
