Going strong after 50 years: antenna R&D at the CSIRO division of radiophysics

A brief history is given of antenna research and development at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) Division of Radiophysics. It covers wartime radar (1939-45), radio astronomy (1945-76), reflector-feed R&D (1963 to present), a microwave landing system (1971-83), the Australia telescope (1982-90), and satellite communications (1977 to present). Antenna measurement facilities and current projects are briefly described.<
