IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecture

Debatosh Guha
Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, 
University of Calcutta, India

Aula Magna Pacinotti, Scuola di Ingegneria Pisa

 

ABSTRACT
This talk is designed to resolve a quest about the fundamentals of antenna engineering in the light of Electromagnetic Field theory. It looks at the Maxwellian Electrodynamics from a different angle and tries to find out
the reason why Maxwell himself failed in experimental validation of his own theory, although he lived an active life for another 14 years after his third and final paper  ‘A dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field’ was published in 1865. In quest of a further knowledge, the speaker visited the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the place of Hertz’s radio wave experiment and the Deutsches Museum Munich where his original experimental units are preserved. This talk will showcase some important evidences too.
