Acknowledgements
I am indebted to the students of 2010 and 2011 taking the course in ‘EM antennas and radiation’ at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology for proofreading parts of the manuscript and pointing out several typos. In particular I would like to thank Peter Rademakers, Nadejda Roubtsova, Mohadig Rousstia, Stefan Lem, Rob Spijkers and Ziyang Wang.
I am also indebted to the staff of Computer Simulation Technology, especially Frank Demming, Marko Walter and Ulrich Becker, for checking the simulation results and making valuable suggestions.
I thank Tiina Ruonamaa and Susan Barclay from Wiley for their support and—what was unfortunately needed again—incredible patience.
Finally, I would like to thank my wife Dianne and daughters Noa and Lotte for understanding and accepting the many hours of neglect during the writing of this book.
