Newnes Radio Engineer's Pocket Book focuses on various processes employed in radio engineering, including frequency, wavelength, radio waves, resonant circuits, and oscillators. The book first elaborates on the propagation of radio waves, decibel scale, and transmission lines. Discussions focus on radio frequency lines, impedance matching, waveguides, decibels referred to absolute values, radio frequency spectrum, formation and behavior of radio waves, and methods of propagation. The text then explores antennas, resonant circuits, oscillators, piezo-electric devices, and bandwidth requirements and modulation. The manuscript examines frequency planning, radio equipment, microwave communication, information privacy and encryption, and multiplexing. Topics include code division multiple access (CDMA), encryption principles, performance criteria for analogue and digital links, microwave usage, transmitters, receivers, and programmable equipment. The book also reviews broadcasting, connectors and interfaces, satellite communications, batteries, instrumentation, and base station site management. The publication is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in radio engineering.

Near-earth space, which extends to geosynchronous orbits where satellites remain faithfully over a fixed spot on the ground, does not lend itself to romantic fantasies of science fiction. It is a working place from which services can be delivered with ease and efficiency. Meteorology, seismic and crop-yield predictions, environmental monitoring, communications of all sorts, guidance and navigation, medical and educational services, treaty verification and photographic reconnaissance, news-gathering, scientific observation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, prospecting, remote sensing, and monitoring of human activities are all in a day's work for near-earth space. Global cellular telephony, only a few years ago the exclusive privilege of comic-book heroes, is becoming a space-based commonplace. Planes that land in fog and cars that find their way in the labyrinthine streets of Tokyo guided from space are beyond a near horizon. Space is delivering its promise. This volume describes many of these activities and their prospects for changing the way we live, communicate, and travel on this Earth.

"For simplicity the contents of this Pocket Book are divided into the five most widely used categories -- manned, interplanetary, scientific and applications, plus launch vehicles. The section on manned spacecraft includes all types of craft ever flown because all are so familiar that even the earliest are still in the public domain. Likewise, a certain historical element exists among the interplanetary spacecraft selection by virtue of the distinctiveness of each step in Man's reaching out from his planet. Among the launch vehicles, too, are a few defunct but celebrated programmes. Soviet launchers are designated according to Charles S. Sheldon's alphabetical/numerical system plus available Russian names. New Nasa-devised designators are also quoted in some cases." --Introduction, page [8].
