Foreword
T
HE tremendous research and development effort that ~vent into the
development of radar and related techniques during }Vorld IJ ar II
resulted not only in hundreds of radar sets for military (and some for
possible peacetime) use but also in a great body of information and ncm
techniques in the electronics and high-frequency fields. 13ecause this
basic material may be of great value to science and engineering, it seemed
most important to publish it as soon as security permitted.
The Radiation Laboratory of 311T, ~vhich operated under the super-
vision of the National Defense Research (ommittec, undertook the great
task of preparing these volumes. The ~vorl{described berein, ho\\-eyer,is
the collective result of ~vork done at many laboratories, Army, Xavy,
university, and industrial, both in this country and in JZngland, (

need that arose during the ]var for utilizing the microwave region
of the radio frequency spectrum for communications and radar stimu-
lated the development of nelv types of antennas. lhe problems and
design techniques, lying as they do in the domain of both applied electro-
magnetic theory and optics, are quite distinct from those of long-wave
antennas.
It is the aim of the present volume to make available to the
antenna engineer a systematic treatment of the basic principles and the
fundamental microwave antenna types and techniques. The elements
of electromagnetic theory and physical optics that are needed as a basis
for design techniques are developed quite fully. Critical attention is
paid to the assumptions and approximations that are commonly made
in the theoretical developments to emphasize the domain of applicability
of the results. The subject of geometrical optics has been treated only
to the extent necessary to formulate its basic principles and to sho~v its
relation as a short wavelength approximation to the more exact methods
of field theory. The brevity of treatment should not be taken as an
index of the relative importance of geometrical optics to that of electro-
magnetic theory and physical optics.
It is in fact true that the former
is generally the starting point in the design of the optical elements
(reflectors and lenses) of an antenna. However, the use of ray theory
for microwave systems presents no new problems over those encountered
in opticson which there are a number of excellent treatisesexcept
that perhaps the law of the optical path appears more prominently in
micro~vave applications.
In the original planning of the book it was the intention of the editors
to integrate all of the major wQrk done in this country and in Great
Britoin and Canada. This proved, however, to be too ambitious an
undertaking. Nfany subjects have regrettably been omitted completely,
and others have had to be treated in a purely cursory manner.
It \vas
unfortunately necessary to omit two chapters on rapid scanning antennas
prepared by Dr. C. V. Robinson.
The time required to revise the
material to conform ~vith the requirements of military security and yet
to represent an adequate exposition of the subject would have unduly
delayed the publication of the hook. Certain sections of Dr. Robinsons
material have been incorporated into Chaps. 6 and 12.

I take pleasure in expressing here my appreciation to Prof. Hubei-t
M. James who, as Technical Editor, shared with me much of the
editorial work and the attendant responsibilities.
The scope of the book,
the order of presentation of the material, and the sectional division within
chapters were arrived at by us jointly in consultation with the authors.
I am personally indebted to Professor .James for his editorial Ivork on
my own chapters.
The responsibility for the final form of the book, the errors of omission
and commission, is mine. A word of explanation to the authors of the
various chapters is in order.
After the close of the Office of Iublications
and the dispersal of the group, I have on occasions made use of my
editorial prerogative to revise their presentations. I hope that the results
meet ~vith their approval. The policy of assignment of credit also needs
explanation. The interpretation of both Professor James and myself of
the policy on credit assignment formulated by the Editorial Board for
the Technical Series has been to the effect that no piece of work discussed
in the text would be associated with an individual or individuals.
Radi-
ation Laboratory reports are referred to in the sense that they represent
source material for the chapter rather than individual acknowledgements.
References to unpublished material of the Radiation Laboratory note-
books have been assiduously a~oided, although such material has been
dramm upon extensively by all of us.
In defense of this policy it may be
stated that the ]vorlc at the Radiation Laboratory was truly a cooperative
effort, and in only a few instances would it have been possible to assign
individual credit unequivocally.
The completion of the book was made possible through the efforis of
a number of people; in behalf of the editorial staff and the authors I wish
to acknowledge their assistance and contributions. Mrs. Barbara Vogel
and Mrs. Ellen Fine of the Radiation Laboratory served as technical
assistants; the production of figures and photographs \vas expedited by
hlrs. Frances Bourget and Mrs. nary Sheats. It proved impossible to
finish the ]t-orl
