Introduction to Avionics SystemsSpringer Science & Business Media, 2002 M12 31 - 492 pages Evaluation copies are available. Please contact textbooks@wkap.com. Provide the course number, number of students and present textbook used.Introduction to Avionics Systems, Second Edition explains the basic principles and underlying theory of modern avionic systems and how they are implemented with current technology for both civil and military aircraft in a clear and easy to read manner.All systems are explained so that their design and performance can be understood and analysed. Worked examples are included to illustrate the application of the theory and principles covered. The latest developments and directions of research for future systems are included.This new second edition has approximately 25% new material and takes into account the technology developments which have taken place since the first edition was published in January 1996. The book is well illustrated with line drawings and photos, with some in colour where appropriate.Readership: Graduates (or equivalent) from a range of disciplines entering the avionics and aerospace industries.Engineers at all levels engaged in the design and development of avionic systems and equipment in the avionic and aerospace industries.Students and post graduate students taking avionics and aeronautical engineering courses.Staff in the armed services and civil airlines engaged in the support or operation of aircraft who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of the design and implementation of avionic systems and equipment. |
