Interaction by Resonance of Radio Waves

Abstract

DR. MARTYN and I have already given a quantitative theory of the phenomenon known as the interaction of radio waves1. This theory has been found to be in good agreement with observation, and has in particular led to conclusions about the acoustic distortion of the impressed modulation which the subsequent observations of van der Pol and van der Mark adequately confirmed. There is, however, in this theory an inaccuracy of which I became aware about a year ago while engaged in a related investigation, and which at first sight appears of no great importance.
