Electrical Network Analyzers for the Solution of Electromagnetic Field Problems: Part I: Theory, Design and Construction

This is the first part of a paper on the design, construction, and operation of electrical network analyzers capable of obtaining solutions of the wave equation. There is discussed herein the design and construction of two network analyzers for solving the wave equation in both two-dimensional, axially symmetric, cylindrical co-ordinates and rectangular co-ordinates. The various design parameters are discussed and suitable solutions presented.
