Kerr D.E. (ed.) Propagation of Short Radio Waves

New York: McGraw-Hill, 1951. — 728 p. — (MIT Radiation Laboratory Series. Volume 13)Most of the volumes of the Radiation Laboratory Series are devoted to specific radar subjects such as components, systems and their applications, or measurement techniques. This volume, however, treats the phenomena associated with the propagation of short radio waves between terminal points, whether they betheradar antenna serving a dual purpose or the antennaa of a communications system. The intention is to present a summary of the state of knowledge in the microwave-propagation field at the close of the war. There has been no attempt to produce either a handbook or textbook, but only an interim report on a rapidly changing subject. An attempt has been made to survey all relevant information that was available, from whatever source, and to summarize as much of it as was feasible.
