Abstract:Transmission considerations and practical limitations indicate that in the lower frequency range, frequencies near 60 kc are best suited for transatlantic radio‐telephone transmission. A radio receiving location in Maine gives a signal‐to‐noise ratio improvement over a New York location equivalent to increasing the power of the British transmitter about 50 times.
Various types of receiving antennas are briefly discussed. The wave‐antenna is selected as being most suitable for long‐wave radio telephony. The var… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
