He only needs an “r” at the end of his name, as the far field radiation pattern of an antenna is essentially the Fourier transform of its current distribution.
Spot on though about antennas, essentially bending metal the right way.
Interesting. I've used an EM and antenna simulation tool called FEKO that is also originally from South Africa. Is there a university there with a strong electromagnetics focus?
I used FEKO for some time and it had the best interface for doing optimization out of the EM solvers in my opinion. The development team out of South Africa was also excellent in the brief times I got to work with them directly. Unfortunately after the company was acquired the new monetization scheme didn't work out with my office and we largely switched to CST.
