Abstract :
The development of the Kouyoumjian & Pathak UTD diffraction coefficient will be summarized. Applications of the UTD on basic and complex structures (from ground planes to airframes), based on my own personal experience, will be presented and the impact of the K & P UTD diffractions coefficient will be highlighted.
