Active Registration: Professional Electrical Engineer since 1958

Education: BS, Electrical Engineering

Mr. Leonard is an electrical engineer with 19 years at Hatfield & Dawson and 37 years at Boeing Airplane Co. He specializes in computer aided analysis of antenna design and propagation problems, especially unusual antenna configurations, and calculation of non-ionizing radiation density at multiple use communication sites for compliance with federal and local standards for environmental impact. His expertise includes medium wave, VHF, UHF, and microwave propagation and antenna system design and analysis. At Boeing he specialized in design, installation, and testing of radar, navigation, and communications antennas for a variety of commercial and military applications, including Earth Orbiting Sensor, AWACS, and orbiting astronomical observatory systems. He performed analysis on radio astronomy, surface imaging and radar mapping. During 1946-1959 he developed airborne communications, navigation antennas for B-17, B-47, 707, and Bomarc.
