Radio Telescope Reflectors : Historical Development of Design and Construction [E-Book] / by Jacob W. M. Baars, Hans J. Kärcher
This book demonstrates how progress in radio astronomy is intimately linked to the development of reflector antennas of increasing size and precision. The authors describe the design and construction of major radio telescopes as those in Dwingeloo, Jodrell Bank, Parkes, Effelsberg and Green Bank sin...
