Antennas and Propagation TN Events

Following the independent development of radar in many countries from 1934-9 there was a need to efficiently achieve high power microwave energy to enable the transition from land based into airborne radar. The presentation will feature cavity magnetron based radars as used in naval corvettes, B17 flying fortress bombers as well as introduce the British H2S radar.

The lecture will take us on a tour through the evolution of telecommunications, from crackly analogue lines to modern SD WAN. We will explore telecoms as the electronic transmission of voice, data, IP, and video over distance via cable, radio, or satellite - forming the global network that underpins communication and internet access today.
