This standard handbook for engineers covers the fundamentals, theory and applications of radio, electronics, computers, and communications equipment. It provides information on essential, need-to-know topics without heavy emphasis on complicated mathematics. It is a "must-have" for every engineer who requires electrical, electronics, and communications data. Featured in this updated version is 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. This work also offers new knowledge in the fields of satellite technology, space communication, microwave science, telecommunication, global positioning systems, frequency data, and radar.

Image orthicons with structured targets were tested using a new cycled test set which separates the functions of exposure and read-out by a selected time interval. Resolution of image orthicons, when cycled in a manner corresponding to slow scan read-out, has exceeded 50 percent sine-wave response at 500 TV lines/inch. Possible means of increasing resolution toward the contract objective of 1500 TV lines/inch are discussed. Electron gun resolution, measured at high velocity, was nearly doubled during the year. Improvement was achieved by smoothing the mixed carbonate cathode coating. The procedures used to process targets are explained in detail. (Author).

This excellent publication provides a historical background of the dream of sight/sound extension by electric means and identification of the major participants is given. The book examines the foremost problem delaying the early progress of television and explores how the development of full-colour television by examining the inventions needed to achieve the dream, the people who produced them, the role of the motion picture industry, and more. * Offers both a personal historical perspective of the development of television and an overview of the technology * A unique opportunity to learn of the beginnings of television from one of RCA's pioneering engineers
