Radiation and Scattering of Waves

Leopold B. Felsen was a physicist known for studies of Electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines. He had to flee Germany at 16 due to the Nazis. He has fundamental contributions to electromagnetic field analysis. Nathan Marcuvitz, was an American electrical engineer, physicist, and educator who worked in the fields of microwave and electromagnetic theory. He was head of the experimental group of the Radiation Laboratory. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
