This thesis presents the fundamental communication transmission
principles which define the performance characteristics
cf the transmission channel. The subject matter is divided
into three categories (1) antennas, (2) transmission lines,
and (3) waveguides. The scope of presentation is results
oriented rather than the traditional theorem and proof
approach. While tie results are quantitative in nature,
consideration of the underlying principles as well as the
advantages and disadvantages associated with each transmission
channel are presented. Although technical factors are
often the tasis upon which decisions regarding communication
systeis are made, it is evident that the telecommunication
systems manager must understand the fundamental principles
cf the transmission channel in order to effect viable solutions
to telecommunications management problems.http://archive.org/details/analysisofmodern00brouLieutenant Commander, United States NavyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited
