Terman F.E. Radio Engineers' Handbook

McGraw-Hill, 1943. — 1019 p.Provides a summary of the body of engineering knowledge upon which 1940s radio and electronics technology was based. Still a valuable reference for the electronic engineer in the 21st century. Author Frederick Emmons Terman (1900-1982) was an American professor and academic administrator. He is widely credited (together with William Shockley) as being the father of Silicon Valley.Tables, Mathematical relations, and Units.
