The purpose of the book, apart from expounding the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD) method, is to present useful formulations that can be readily applied to solve practical engineering problems.

Graeme James was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1945. He received B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1970 and 1973 respectively. In 1984 he was awarded the D.Sc. degree from the same university. Between 1973 and 1976 he was a postdoctorial fellow with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Queen Mary College, London, England, where he was involved in a number of projects concerned with electromagnetic scattering and diffraction. Since June 1976 he has been with CSIRO, Sydney, Australia, where he has been mainly concerned with research into high performance microwave antennas.
