The Application of Computers to Radio Engineering Functions

This paper explores various factors to be considered in the application of computer techniques to radio engineering functions. A general outline of the radio engineer functions related to system performance, layout engineering, frequency coordination, and administration are included. The interrelationship of the decision parameters of manpower, economics, work volume, work complexity, and computer development are discussed. Consideration is given to the productivity and economic aspects of computer application. Some potential problem areas are reviewed.
