Description
Aircraft Radio Systems
The cockpit and equipment racks of modern aircraft are becoming filled with evermore sophisticated electronic systems. This book attempts to describe a certain class of such systems, namely those which rely for their operation on electromagnetic radiation. The subject matter is complex and wide-ranging, hence not all aspects can be covered in one volume. The book is aimed primarily at the aircraft maintenance engineer, but it is also of great interest to the technically-inclined pilot.
