Report of Advances in Microwave Theory and Techniques in Great Britain-1959

The continued research effort in the microwave field is reflected by the number of papers, which is as great as in any previous year. The single topic attracting the largest number of contributions has been that of waveguides for long-distance communication. This is partly the result of a very successful International Convention organized by the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London during January, 1959. To some extent it also indicates the amount of work which has been proceeding during the last few years and which now suggests that operational waveguide communication links may be in service within the foreseeable future.
