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.
