Large Antennas of the Deep Space Network - Imbriale, William A. (California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory)

Details the evolution of the large parabolic dish antennas, from the initial 26 m operation at L band (960 MHz) in 1958 through the Ka band (32 GHz) operation on the 70 m antenna, used to support radio and radar astronomy observations in the exploration of the solar system and the universe.
