Description

Important practical properties of antennas are_ their Over a period of years extensive researches on driving-point admittances and far-field patterns. The antennas have been carried out at Harvard University accurate determination of these and other related with the support of the U. S. Navy, the U. S. Air Force, characteristics requires the explicit or implicit solu- and the Signal Corps of the U. S.
