Dear Peter, LF Group, I think the mathematical theory of transmission lines evolved with the appearance of long-distance telegraph lines, but measuring standing waves could only have become practical with the appearance of HF radio. In some pre-war papers I have seen descriptions of little trolleys carrying thermocouple ammeters that could be pulled along an open-wire line (there is a rather vague description in Terman's "Radio Engineering"), This was done at Marconi College when I was with the company '52 - '55. Binoculars were provided to read the ammeter... Mike -- M.J.Powell |
