This book is intended to be a comprehensive work of reference on the subject of radio aids to civil aviation. It is not written for the circuit designer or routine operator requiring detailed information on existing aids but rather for the system designer and operational planner. To this end it gives systems information required by the radio engineer or operational specialist. The inclusion at an early stage of some one hundred and fifteen pages devoted to the basic principles of radio propagation, radar, etc., assists those having a nodding acquaintance only with radio engineering to a better understanding of the later sections of the book; besides presenting a number of nomograms, graphs, and formulae directly useful to the systems designer.
