About

John McCormick is a leading authority in antenna measurement and electromagnetic metrology, with his work fundamentally shaping how high-performance antennas are tested and validated. His seminal contribution, the comprehensive text *Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements* (2023), which has garnered 18 citations, serves as the definitive modern reference in the field. This expanded second edition masterfully bridges theoretical foundations—from basic postulates to advanced mathematical formulations—with the practical realities of deploying planar near-field systems in demanding environments, including full-color imagery that illuminates complex concepts. McCormick’s research has been instrumental in advancing the accuracy and efficiency of antenna characterization, directly impacting satellite communications, radar systems, and 5G/6G wireless technologies. His work is particularly noted for demystifying the intricate assumptions underlying near-field to far-field transformations, making sophisticated measurement techniques accessible to both seasoned engineers and graduate students. Through this landmark publication and his broader body of work, McCormick has established himself as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand or implement state-of-the-art antenna measurement methodologies.
