This summer, Dennis and I came across the April 1964 issue of Popular Electronics. On pages 74 and 75 of that issue we found a clue that seemed to point to the origins of the device: the article referred to Naval Research Lab Report #3538 by O. Norgorden, published on September 15, 1949. This may be the paper that led to the widespread use of SWR meters by radio amateurs.
Surprisingly, this important paper was not to be found on the internet. Exhibiting an admirable dedication to the preservation of an important element of the radio art, Dennis wrote to Naval Research Lab and purchased from them a copy of the report. Unfortunately, the version Dennis got had been copied and recopied so many times that it was hard to read. So he went the extra mile and re-typed it.
With his permission, I am giving this article its internet debut by posting it here:

Three cheers for Dennis Klipa for unearthing this important piece of radio history.

If there is a shortage, he can request the Reflectometry produce to arrange for some more so that he can continue with his task.

ReplyDeleteHi admin,
I read your blog,I really like it.which is abouot Reflectometry.
Give your images from your Reflectometry that exotic look by using a film scanner to scan them.
However, there is yet another essential factor which becomes a major concern for the Reflectometry directors.
