Preface
The ninth edition provides new knowledge in the fields of satellite technology, space communication, microwave science, telecom-
munication, global positioning systems, frequency data, and radar. Also revised and updated were the chapters
on
intellectual prop-
erty and patents, probability and design, power electronics-rectifiers, filter, and power supplies, properties of materials, units.
constants and conversion factors, active filter design, antennas, integrated circuits, digital signal processing, and surface acoustic
wave devices.
I
am
sure that as you read this text you will also appreciate the hard work and expertise of these authors. This edition of
Reference
Data
for
Electrical Engineers
will continue its tradition of being an important reference text for all electrical engineers.

on
the web for download.
While
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act did open
the
door for auctions, it only authorized them for a short time. A bet-

The GPS Time Scale began
on
January
6,
1980 and is not adjusted for leap seconds. Therefore, it differs from UTC by the
number of leap seconds that have occurred January
6,
1980. As of
June
2001, GPS Time is
13
seconds ahead of UTC.
Much of the data in this chapter cross-references with Chapter 37 on GPS.
The
updates
on
GPS before and after S/A was turned off are quite good, as is the discussion of the merits of different types of
atomic clocks.
For up-to-date GPS information, the web address for the United States Coast Guard Navigation Center
is:
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/
For
the
readers’ reference: A nanometer is 10-9 meter. The
meter
is
defined
as:
the length of
the
path traveled by light in vac-
uum
during a time interval of 1/299 792
458
of a second.
The
constant for the speed of light can be found at: http://www.physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu~alue?clsearch-fo~light
Chapter 3: Units, Constants, and Conversion Factors
-
by E. Mechtly
*
Temperatures are discussed
in
the context of Table 2,
SI
Base and Derived Umts.
See entries
for
Kelvin
and for
degree Celsius
in Table 2.
Many tables were updated. The style information on how to correctly express different units is a resource that many will be
likely to
use
in the future.
The values for constants have been updated and citations including worldwide web addresses have been added.

The most current versions
of
the table of Superconducting Materials can be found at internet sources such as the
NIST
Super-
conducting Materials Database at
http://www.ceramics.nist.gov/srd
or by the “High-T (critical) Update,” sponsored by the
Argonne National Laboratory at
http://www.iitap.iastate.edu.
The tables
on
wires, gauges, and drills sizes lie
on
the interface between engineering and shop technology. Here, again, the
internet offers a multitude
of
equivalent sources. For example, a web search for “wire gauge” or “AWG’ yields many sources,
Likewise, does
a
search for “drills.”

For more than fifty years, the venerable vacuum tube has proved to be the technology of choice for many applications. The
advent of solid-state power amplifiers has also made a profound impact. This healthy technological competition has no doubt
been to the benefit of both technologies, and the reader should not mistake the proud history of vacuum electronics as an indi-
cation of a technology at its sunset.
+his chapter describes the numerous advances in the area of vacuum electronics, which continue to make the technology the
appropriate choice for many applications. Present-day applications for microwave tubes include satellite and terrestrial com-
munications, industrial and scientific applications from heating materials to heating fusion reactors, and continuing military
applications, such as radar and electronic warfare.
Driven by these continuing needs, this technology area has continued to see impressive advances in recent times, as described
in this chapter.
Chapter 20: Integrated Circuits

-
made up by Prof. Abramson (of the University of Hawaii, of course)
Somebody may have fitted words to the letters, but the author did not hear it defined by Abramson when he lectured
on
it at
Comsat Labs many years ago.
-
Multi-beam antennas of 15 meters diameter for MSS are mentioned at the end of the Spacecrafthtenna section.
