Personnel at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory introduced many innovative concepts in electromagnetics (EM) and created new antenna and sensor designs that made possible much of the wideband electromagnetics technology we have today. Many practitioners in high power EM are familiar with wideband sensors and simulators, but may not be aware of their origin. The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the concepts from which many of the designs evolved and provide some interesting insight into the mind of Dr. Carl Baum, who created them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
