Abstract

The author describes the development of some of the microwave components by the Rf Group at the MIT Radiation Laboratory. The examples are drawn mainly from the author´s own experience. Among them are the introduction of broadbanding and preplumbing, the problem of crystal burnout, the design of crystal mixers, and devices using the Magic-Tee. The frequency stabilization of klystrons and a related proposal for a narrowband duplex microwave communication system are considered. It is pointed out that, with World War II´s successful conclusion, much of the experience was carried over into fundamental research, with microwave spectroscopy, radio astronomy, and nuclear and electronic magnetic resonance as relatively direct beneficiaries.<>
