Biography

Professor Rudduck specializes in the development of techniques for antenna analysis. His efforts resulted in a number of new areas including radiation patterns of reflector antennas, horn and waveguide radiators, and mutual coupling between parallel-plate waveguides. He pioneered the development of the geometrical theory of diffraction as a practical tool for solving EM problems. Other studies have included aperture admittance of waveguides and scattering by conducting strips and their walls. His research areas of expertise include reflector antennas, microwave lens antennas, and lens design theory. Other areas are ground-based and airborne radomes, corner reflector research, and electronically scanned antennas for airborne applications. In recent years, Professor Rudduck has been active in the analysis and design of reflector antennas, especially through the use of the OSU Reflector Antenna Code (NECREF).

From 1965 to 1968 he served as an officer in the Columbus Chapter for the IEEE Group on Aerospace and Electronics Systems. From 1972 to 1975, he served as an officer of the IEEE Columbus Joint Chapter of AP-S and MTT. He served as President of the Antenna Measurements Techniques Association (AMTA) in 1962 and was Technical Coordinator in 1990 and 1991. He is a Fellow of the IEEE (1990).
