Microwave and RF Techniques and Applications – serie

Solid-state microwave generators are increasingly used in microwave systems, whether civil or military, due to their advantages of small size, low weight and power consumption and ease of production. This work examines all the generator types available, covering their design, production and range of applications with comparisons of their performances and likely future development. Aimed at systems designers and engineers involved in microwave component and subsytems designs, the book concentrates on the practical engineering involved and includes actual design examples and their performance. Theory is given for all major generator types including direct digital synthesis, though the emphasis throughout is on the design and realization of production systems.

"Infrared Thermography" gives a thorough introduction to the principles, techniques and applications of infrared imaging systems. This technology is finding an ever increasing range of applications in the civil field as well as in the military. With its comprehensive coverage and applications orientation, this book provides an ideal tutorial introduction to engineers and scientists interested in applying infrared thermography. Gilbert Gaussorgues is the technical director of HGH Infrared systems of Massy, France and was formerly the director of the French Navy's electro-optics laboratory; Daniel Hausermann is at ESRF, Grenoble, France; and Seweryn Chomet is in the Department of Physics, King's College, University of London. This book should be of interest to engineers in companies and laboratories in electro-optics, thermography, process monitoring control and non-destructive testing.

This book should be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of electrical engineering studying microwave technology, specifically microwave electronics or active microwave devices.

"Microwave Integrated Circuits" provides a comprehensive overview of analysis and design methods for integrated circuits and devices in microwave systems. Passive and active devices, and linear and non-linear circuits are covered with a final chapter detailing measurement and test techniques. Engineers, researchers and advanced students should find this a useful tutorial text and reference.

This title should fulfill the needs of engineers and technicians who specify, procure, design, develop, test, manufacture, operate and service tubes, power supply/modulators and complete transmitters for radar, ECM and communications and broadcast systems. The material in the book is also applicable to microwave transmitters for scientific applications. "Microwave Tube Transmitters" provides a concentration of relevant material and references. This book should be of interest to engineers and researchers in microwave technology.

Introduction to Avionic Systems, Second Edition explains the principles and theory of modern avionic systems and how they are implemented with current technology for both civil and military aircraft. The systems are analysed mathematically, where appropriate, so that the design and performance can be understood. The book covers displays and man-machine interaction, aerodynamics and aircraft control, fly-by-wire flight control, inertial sensors and attitude derivation, navigation systems, air data and air data systems, autopilots and flight management systems, avionic systems integration and unmanned air vehicles.About the Author. Dick Collinson has had "hands-on" experience of most of the systems covered in this book and, as Manager of the Flight Automation Research Laboratory of GEC-Marconi Avionics Ltd. (now part of BAE Systems Ltd.), led the avionics research activities for the company at Rochester, Kent for many years.He was awarded the Silver Medal of the Royal Aeronautical Society in 1989 for his contribution to avionic systems research and development.
