Abstract
Numerous examples of inverse problems can arise from the applications of Electromagnetic Theory. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview, from a mathematical point of view, of the actual problems in designing, developing and testing an “Antenna System”. We are concerned with both “Inverse” problems: “Synthesis” (in design) and “Identification” (in measurements). The paper starts with a brief description of the basic mathematical modelling, and related numerical methods, of the Direct Problem: Antenna Analysis, then traditional Synthesis techniques are reviewed followed by a new generalized method. Last topic deal with inverse problems that comes from modern testing and measurement techniques. The difference between modern and old fashion design approach is also emphasised.
