Tozzi) written in pencil inside front free endpaper. Tables. Figures. Footnotes. Formulae. Includes Foreword (by L. A. DuBridge), Preface, and Introduction, as well as chapters on Power Generation and Measurement, Microwave Power Measurements, Microwave Signal Generators, The Measurement of Wavelength, Frequency Measurements, The Measurement of Frequency Spectrum and Pulse Shape; The Measurement of Impedance and Standing Waves; Impedance Bridges; The Measurement of Dielectric Constants; Attenuators and Radiation Measurements; The Measurement of Attenuation; Directional Couplers; R-F Phase and Pattern Measurements; Manufacturers of Microwave Equipment; and an Index. The development and engineering of microwave radar equipment required that considerable effort be spent on improvements in the art of microwave measurements. New techniques had to be devised which were suitable for laboratory use, and these had to be modified and adapted for use in the field and in the factory. The necessity for the maintenance and the repair of military equipment imposed other special problems, and test gear had to be designed for these purposes also. It has been attempted in the present volume to select for description those techniques and apparatus which are most likely to prove useful to future workers in the microwave field rather than to attempt a compilation that approaches completeness. Emphasis has been placed on laboratory equipment. Among the Contributing Authors are: R. Beringer, R. N. Griesheimer, D. Hamilton, R. A. Howard, G. N. Kamm, S. Katz, R. L. Kyhl, R. V. Pond, E. M. Purcell, R. M. Redheffer, E. Weber, H. R. Worthington, and L. B. Young. Louis Tozzi received a BS in EE from Newark College of Engineering (now the New Jersey Institute of Technology) in 1950, and the Ph.D. in EE from the University of Maryland in 1970. After graduation from the Newark College of Engineering he went to work for the Ordnance Development Division of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in Washington DC. The Ordnance Development Division was transferred from NBS Department of Commerce to the Department of the Army in 1951 and became the Diamond Ordnance Fuze Laboratory and later the Harry Diamond Laboratories. (NBS is now (NIST) the National Institute of Standards and Technology.) During the period from 1950 through September 1986 Louis Tozzi was employed by the Harry Diamond Laboratories and its predecessor organizations where the major focus of his work was in research and development of proximity and radar fuzing systems and applicable counter-countermeasure techniques. Starting as a junior engineer he, in turn, became a Group Leader, Branch Chief, Laboratory Chief, and then Director of the Development and Engineering Division at the Harry Diamond Laboratories. Before his retirement from government service in 1986 he also served as Acting Director of the Harry Diamond Laboratories for a period of approximately six months. Condition: Good.
