Device May eliminate communications blackout during re-entry of space vehicle

A new electronic device, expected to have important applications in modern communications, has been developed at the M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Mass., operated under U.S. Air Force contract with the joint support of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force. A full report on this device was presented at the July 1962 Solid-State Device Research Conference at Durham, N.H., by R. J. Keyes and T. M. Quist of the Lincoln Applied Physics Group.
