About this title

Synopsis

Radar was still secret and centimetre waves were new territory when this textbook set out the physics and the practice of engineering at the top of the usable spectrum.

Hyper and Ultrahigh Frequency Engineering is a graduate-level treatment of a field that had become urgent almost overnight: wave propagation, transmission lines, resonators, and the electron tubes that could generate and amplify signals at wavelengths measured in centimetres. Library catalogues still index it under the plain subject headings of the period - electric waves, and shortwave radio.

Its bibliography, running to twenty pages, is now a resource in its own right for anyone tracing where microwave practice came from and how quickly it was assembled.

This edition features:

• The full text, a standard graduate reference throughout the decade that followed
• Chapters on guided waves, transmission lines, resonators, and the circuits engineers built around them
• A full account of the electron tube theory behind generation and amplification at these frequencies
• Black and white diagrams, graphs and worked figures throughout, following the original Wiley printing
• A twenty-page bibliography of the contemporary literature, valuable to historians of radio and radar
