Knovel Adds New Titles in Aerospace & Radar Technology

Military Avionics Systems
Copyright (c) 2006, John Wiley & Sons. This book introduces the military roles expected of aircraft types and describes the avionics systems required to fulfill these roles, ranging from technology and architectures to navigations systems, sensors, computing architectures and the human-machine interface. This reference enables readers to assemble combinations of systems in order to perform specific military roles. It covers a wide range of military aircraft roles and systems applications offering clear and concise system descriptions. This reference also includes case studies and examples from current projects, featuring full color illustrations which detail aircraft display systems.

Rocket Propulsion Elements (7th Edition)
Copyright (c) 2001, John Wiley & Sons. With more than a third of the text and illustrations either completely new or extensively revised, this latest edition includes current information on engine structures, nozzle theory, gas properties, thrust chambers, launch vehicles, and more. With a detailed table of contents breaking down each chapter into subsections--as well as an expanded index of key words--this Seventh Edition efficiently steers readers quickly to the information they need. Other highlights include: Separate chapters on liquid, solid, and hybrid propulsion systems and a new chapter on thrust chambers, including the new aerospace nozzle; Comprehensive coverage of rocket propulsion technology, with applications to space flight, satellite flight, and guided and unguided missiles; Problem-solving examples and exercises relevant to actual design situations; More than 340 illustrations including photographs, tables, and graphs; Coherent, up-to-date chapter on electrical propulsion balancing fundamentals with practical aspects and applications.

Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering, Volumes 1-6
Copyright (c) 2005, John Wiley & Sons. RF and Microwave Engineering is one of the fastest growth areas of the past decade and will probably continue to be a very active area of research and application in a large variety of fields. This six-volume set illustrates how this field has been the key enabling technology responsible for the phenomenal growth of wireless communication. This set also examines how RF and microwave engineering continue to have great influence in radar, remote sensing, remote control, sensors, navigation, surveillance, electronic warfare, radiometers, plasma research, and imaging.
