  • Ronold Wyeth Percival King (* 19. September 1905 in Williamstown, Massachusetts; † 10. April 2006) war ein US-amerikanischer angewandter Physiker, der für seine Beiträge zur bekannt ist. Ronold King war der Sohn eines Germanistikprofessors und wuchs in Rochester in New York auf. Er studierte an der University of Rochester Physik mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1927 und dem Master-Abschluss 1929, war 1928/29 Austauschstudent in München, war 1929/30 an der Cornell University und wurde 1932 an der University of Wisconsin–Madison bei Edward Bennett mit einer Dissertation über Elektronik promoviert. Danach war er dort Assistent und ab 1934 Instructor und Assistant Professor am Lafayette College. Ab 1938 war er Instructor, ab 1939 Assistant Professor, ab 1942 Associate Professor und ab 1946 Professor an der Harvard University. Er wurde Gordon McKay Professor für angewandte Physik und 1972 emeritiert. Danach lebte er in Winchester. 1937 und 1958 war er als Guggenheim Fellow im Ausland. Er entwickelte ab den 1940er Jahren die Theorie zylindrischer Radio- und Mikrowellenantennen. Außerdem untersuchte er die Streuung, Beugung und Ausbreitung von elektromagnetischen Wellen in verschiedenen Geometrien und Materialien. Er erfand die PIF-Antenne, die vielfach in Mobilfunkgeräten verwendet wird und die er für die Telemetrie von Raketen entwickelte. Zu seinen Doktoranden gehört Tai Tsun Wu. Er war Fellow der American Academy of Arts and Sciences, des IEEE (Life Fellow) und der American Physical Society. 1986 erhielt er den Harold Pender Award und 1985 die Centennial Medal des IEEE. (de)
  • Ronold Wyeth Percival King (September 19, 1905 – April 10, 2006) was an American applied physicist, known for his contributions to the theory and application of microwave antennas. He published twelve books and over three hundred articles in his area, as well as mentored one hundred doctoral dissertations. Born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, he moved to Rochester, New York, where his father worked as a professor of German. He earned an A.B. (1927) and S.M. (1929) degree in physics from the University of Rochester. He was an exchange student at the University of Munich (1928–29) and attended Cornell University (1929–30), before completing his graduate studies at University of Wisconsin–Madison (1932) where he obtained a Ph.D. on the thesis Characteristics of Vacuum Tube Circuits Having Distributed Constants at Ultra-Radio Frequencies advised by Edward Bennett and subsequently was a research assistant (1932–34). King was an instructor and assistant professor in physics at Lafayette College (1934–37), and a Guggenheim Fellow overseas (1937, 1958). He joined Harvard University as an instructor (1938), as assistant professor (1939), associate (1942), and as Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics (1946–72, taken over by his former student Tai Tsun Wu), and professor emeritus (1972). He resided at Winchester, Massachusetts, and wrote the autobiography A Man of the 20th Century. His research group at Harvard spent the 1940s and 1950s developing the theory of antenna (radio), using the cylindrical antenna as a boundary value problem subject to Maxwell's equations. Also, scattering and diffraction of electromagnetic waves from spheres, cylinders, strips, and disks, conducted within earth, under water or in tissue. King is responsible for the inverted-F antenna, the most widely used antenna in mobile phones. However, he did not develop this antenna for that purpose. Rather the intended use was missile telemetry. (en)
