Henney Keith. The Radio Engineering Handbook

Third Edition. Eighth Impression. — The McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., 1944. — 945 p.In preparing new material and in revising existing material for the Third Edition, the same principles were followed as in the First Edition. An endeavor has been made to prepare a comprehensive working manual of the radio science and to compile in a single book concise information on each of the branches of radio engineering. As in earlier editions, there is in this volume a considerable amount of what may be called fundamental background, but the emphasis is on practice rather than on theory.Each of the sections has been brought up to date. Several have been completely rewritten, notably those on television, high-frequency technique, loud-speakers and acoustics, detection and modulation, facsimile, and aircraft radio. In each of these fields, much progress has been made since 1930. The authors of the individual sections have the requisite theoretical background as well ns the very necessary practical experience in the field.The engineer will find in this book many man-hours of effort compiled in the form of tables and curves and converted into concise English by the engineers, physicists, and teachers who have aided the editor in preparing this new edition.
