Some historical aspects of HF Band Radars

by Hans Jucker

During my working on aspects of Klein-Heidelberg, which constituted world's first Bi-Static radar, I discussed recent findings with Hans Jucker of Switzerland. He soon send me his contribution which is, among other things, based on Dipl.-Ing. (Dr.) Stepp's dissertation of 1946 at the T.H. Darmstadt (Technical University) of 1946. I regard his paper being worth to be made available on the web.
