Chapter I instrumentation and measurements

A companion volume to the Handbook of Microwave Measurements published In 1955 has been compiled by members of the staff of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. The new Handbook of Electronic Measurements edited by Wind (1) is an excellent treatise on the subject and should find wide acceptance as a valuable basic reference book. Dielectric measurements are not specifically considered, but many of the basic problems encountered in dielectric measurements are discussed. Chapters are devoted to electromagnetic fundamentals, voltage, current, impedance and power measurements; frequency, time interval and phase measurements; field intensity, bandwidth, gain, noise figure and stability measurements; and several chapters on related subjects, including one on oscillographic observation of waveforms.
