Kenneth Bullington
Kenneth Bullington (January 11, 1913 – May 30, 1984) was an American
electrical engineer known for his studies of radio propagation
.
Bullington work at
cellular radio
systems in "Frequency Economy in Mobile Radio Bands".
Bullington received the 1956 IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award "for his contributions to the knowledge of tropospheric transmission beyond the horizon, and to the application of the principles of such transmission to practical communications systems", and the Franklin Institute's 1956 Stuart Ballantine Medal for his studies of space communications.
