Radio Engineers Handbook

Preface

The purpose of the “Radio Engineers’ Handbook” is to provide a n ference book summarizing the body of engineering knowledge that is basis of radio and electronics. ^ Particular effort has been made to achieve thoroughness. Some two thousand technical articles were reviewed during the preparation of the manuscript, and the book in its final form presents in an organized way the more important contributions made to the art by this vast body of technical literature. In the selection of material an attempt has been made to avoid the common failing of most handbooks, which instead of summarizing all of the important facts about a topic, and bringing together formulas and procedures useful in actual design, too often devote most of the available space to introductory material, such as found in good textbooks, and to descriptions of particular equipments.

The text is well documented, thcire being about fifteen hundred footnote references to published article^;. Practically all the pertinent (‘ngincering literature in English that bears on any particular subject is referred to in connection with the text on that subject. The reader who wishes to make an intensive study of a particular topic is thus in most cases spared the necessity of engaging in a time-consuming search Ihrough many indexes to find out what has been published. At the same time, the essential information, fonnulas, etc., are insofar as possible included in this book. The reader, therefore, does not need to have an entire library within arm’s reach in order to obtain the answer to most problems, and yet knows just where to go for further information.
