Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems And Networks

This text is unique in providing a broad overview of the latest aeronautical radio communication systems, as well as looking forward to future developments. The book is divided into three clear parts: Theory, System Level and Practicalities which covers the basic theory and physics governing aeronautical radio systems and networks. The next part gives an overview of a range of standardized systems that are deployed in the aviation industry and are anticipated in the next decade.

The final chapter in the book focuses on the practical aspects of this technology area, looking at applications, economics, environmental constraints, equipment and the standardisation process. Appendices list all formulae and constants that may be required, and defines all acronyms used throughout the text.
