Non-standard Antennas

François Le Chevalier is in charge of the "Radar Systems Engineering" Chair at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, and Scientific Director of Thales Air Operations Division in Rungis, France.Dominique Lesselier is currently with the Laboratoire des Signaux et Systèmes, a joint laboratory of CNRS, Supélec, and Université Paris-Sud 11, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. His main research activity pertains to the development of solution methods of wave-field inverse problems, from mathematical theory to numerical solutions to pertinent applications, and vice versa.Robert Staraj is Professor at Polytech'Nice-Sophia, University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France.
