Hardcover. Zustand: Good. "After a short discussion on what radar is, the physical principles underlying pulse radar systems are discussed in some detail. The principal developments of radar, from Tesla's concept in 1900 of a method for detecting the presence and movement of distant objects, to Chester Rice's experiments with primitive radars in the 1930s, are treated in chronological order. The emergence of radar in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Russia, Holland and Hungary is then examined, and, with the exception of the latter two countries, an annotated bibliography is provided in each case.The work in the United Kingdom is then chosen for more detailed attention. The political and technical backgrounds to the development of the Chain Home and related systems are treated in detail, as is the emergence of the early metric airborne radar sets."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Radar has become an essential factor in air and sea travel, has affected all areas of military science and, most important of all perhaps, has considerably influenced the progress of electronic engineering. This book is the first general history of radar to be published, and one which covers the independent but more or less simultaneous emergence of radar in several countries in the 1930s. Some of the earliest proposals for the use of radio waves to detect objects at a distance are first dealt with. The narrative ranges from the concepts of Nikola Tesler in 1900 and the experiments of Christian Hulsmeyer in 1904 right through, in chronological order, to the commercially sponsored experiments of the pre-war days. The historical events and the military influences, which shaped the ultimate development of radar in each country, are then considered. The book also sets out to explain the basic principles of radar and, where applicable, historical aspects of the evolution of these principles are dealt with. The study, while underlining the significance of the cavity magnetron, purposely restricts itself to the cavity magnetron era of radar. Abundant references, which could facilitate further research, are given.…
