Radio Communication

 
The history of radio dates back to observations by physicists who investigated the phenomena of electricity and magnetism in the 18^th century. Radio communication applications were developing rapidly in the first half of the 20^th century. The Measurement Building soon started researching military radio communication after its foundation in 1927.
Examples of our research:

• Radio communication (1927 – 1935)
• Meteorograph (1934 – 1939)
• Ultra-High Frequency telephone (1935 – 1940)
• Automatic reconnaissance system friend or foe for the Navy (1938 – 1940)
• Remote control of a seaplane (1938 – 1940)
• Reuse of a WWII Würzburg-Riese antenna (1948 – 1977)
• Troposcatter and TacSatCom (1950 · 1975)
• Panoramic receivers (1953 – 1964)
• Non-eaves-droppable ship-to-ship communication (1954 – 1962)
• Equipment for processing intercepted telex information (subgroup crypto automation)
  • Capturing telex messages with the PUNCHROPHYL (1960)
  • Printing (un)coded telex messages with the SCRIBOPHYL (1961)
  • PLUTO for registration of radio-telex messages (1966)
• Radar transponders (1959 – 1995)
• Electro-Magnetic Pulse-research (1970 – 1993)
• Automatic Reporting and Identification System for Ships (1987 – 2000)
• Mixer Pulse Blanking Unit (1992)
• Pioneering with 60 GHz communication (1992 – 1999)
• Leaky Wave Antennas (1998 – 2009)
