2. Abstract
“The evolution of antenna technology is reviewed, from the days of Marconi to the present. Various
periods over which antenna technology has been revitalized are reviewed, and the various antenna
configurations developed during those periods are summarized along with so me of their respective key
characteristics. The history starts at the beginning of the 20th century and the respective technologies
developed in the decades that follow are identified. Individuals that played a key role, especially dur ing the
early stages of antenna technology, are identified. Future trends and needs are speculated. Key
technologies that will contribute to future advancements are identified and
will be presented at the conference.”
