Reference Data for Engineers is the most respected, reliable, and indispensable reference tool for technical professionals around the globe. Written by professionals for professionals, this book is a complete reference for engineers, covering a broad range of topics. It is the combined effort of 96 engineers, scientists, educators, and other recognized specialists in the fields of electronics, radio, computer, and communications technology. By providing an abundance of information on essential, need-to-know topics without heavy emphasis on complicated mathematics, Reference Data for Engineers is an absolute "must-have" for every engineer who requires comprehensive electrical, electronics, and communications data at his or her fingertips. Featured in the Ninth Edition is updated coverage on intellectual property and patents, probability and design, antennas, power electronics, rectifiers, power supplies, and properties of materials. Useful information on units, constants and conversion factors, active filter design, antennas, integrated circuits, surface acoustic wave design, and digital signal processing is also included. The Ninth Edition also offers new knowledge in the fields of satellite technology, space communication, microwave science, telecommunication, global positioning systems, frequency data, and radar.* Widely acclaimed as the most practical reference ever published for a wide range of electronics and computer professionals, from technicians through post-graduate engineers.* Provides a great way to learn or review the basics of various technologies, with a minimum of tables, equations, and other heavy math.

INVESTIGATIONS ARE CONCERNED PRIMARILY WITH THE TRANSMISSION LOSS ENCOUNTERED IN THE PROPAGATION OF RADIO ENERGY BETWEEN A TRANSMITTING AND A RECEIVING ANTENNA. Simple methods are given for determining the magnitude of this transmission loss and its variation in space and time (fading). In addition, methods are given for estimating radio noise and interference levels. When combined, these two methods make possible the estimation of the transmitter power and antenna gain required for satisfactory communication, navigation, or other specific uses of the transmissions. A survey is made of the transmission losses expected for a wide range of conditions, i.e., for distances from 10 to 10,000 statute miles; for radio frequencies from 10 kc to 100,000 mc; for vertical or horizontal polarization; for ground waves, ionospheric waves, and tropospheric waves; over sea water or over land which may be either rough or smooth; and for various geographical and climatological regions.
