The classic paper by Brown, Lewis and Epstein was originally presented in 
Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1937 and is, still 
today, the standard referenced by many text books and amateur radio 
publications. For those who are interested it is available at 
http://k6mhe.com/BLE.html   Note: This is a rather large file (about 6 Megs).
