Abstract

In 2007 60 years from the moment of the publication of the first theoretical work which have proved fundamental limits of achievable parameter!, so-called Electrically Small Antennas (ESA) are executed. On the eve of a anniversary of the given event -it is high time to sum up the 60-years way gone by theorists and developers of aerials in understanding of limiting restrictions in realization effective of ESA-solutions. The given report also is devoted to this review.
