Professor de Wolf, besides being the man who introduced me to scholarly research, has proofed much of the mathematical content in my work and has been a great collaborator during my time at Virginia Tech. Professor Brown taught me most of what I know about electromagnetics; I borrow much of his notation from well-crafted lectures on rough surface scattering and analytical propagation analysis. Professor Rappaport – my principle graduate advisor – has been a true friend by encouraging this project and giving me a first-rate graduate student experience at Virginia Tech’s Mobile & Portable Radio Research ...
