Early history of the OSU ElectroScience Laboratory
George Sinclair · IRE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation · 1985
The early history of the Antenna Laboratory (the name was later changed to the ElectroScience Laboratory) of The Ohio State University is sketched. The development of scale model antenna techniques is described, as applied to measuring the patterns of aircraft and missile antennas. Other projects included one for measuring full-scale antenna patterns of vehicular antennas for the U.S. Army and another on the development of a CW technique for studying the reflections from radar targets. Emphasized is the importance of including in historical accounts of the works of engineering the human involvement of the engineers who create them.
