by Joseph J. Carr
from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics
The Antenna Builder’s Bible – Updated and Better Than Ever!
Design and construct your own antennas with step-by-step instructions and plans. Joseph J. Carr’s Practical Antenna Handbook, Fourth Edition, is an update of the most popular book on antennas ever written. This empowering guide blends theoretical concepts that engineers need to design practical antennas with hard-learned lessons derived from actually building and using antennas -- real antennas, not merely theoretical constructs on a blackboard. Certain to become the toolbox favorite of radio enthusiasts and professionals of all types, from technicians to citizen banders and shortwave listeners, it covers a wide variety of antennas: high-frequency dipole; vertically polarized HF; multiband and tunable wire; hidden and limited space; directional phased vertical and directional beam VHF/UHF transmitting and receiving; shortwave reception; microwave; and mobile, marine, and emergency. This state-of-the-art edition includes a new chapter on antenna modeling software and new coverage of small transmitting antennas and receiving loop antennas.
*Packaged with CD-ROM with antenna modeling software -- including material on EZNEC for Windows 3.0.

GROL Plus: General Radiotelephone Operator License Plus Radar Endorsement
by Gordon West
from Master Publishing Co
Study manual for FCC commercial radio licenses covers the Element 1, Element 3, and Element 8 FCC Question Pools. The authors cite and explain the correct answer. Editorial chapters describe the various FCC Commercial Radio Licenses and requirements. Includes a list of COLEM organizations offering testing for these licenses.
Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing
by Mark A. Richards
from McGraw-Hill
This rigorous text provides in-depth coverage of radar signal processing from a DSP perspective, filling a gap in the literature. There are a number of good books on general radar systems: Skolnik and Nathanson are the most popular. There are also good monographs on advanced and specialty topics like synthetic aperture imaging. But there is a large, practical gap between the qualitative system books and the advanced DSP titles, and that is the slot this book fills.
Introduction to Radar Systems
by Merrill I Skolnik
from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math
Since the publication of the second edition of "Introduction to Radar Systems," there has been continual development of new radar capabilities and continual improvements to the technology and practice of radar. This growth has necessitated the addition and updating of the following topics for the third edition: digital technology, automatic detection and tracking, doppler technology, airborne radar, and target recognition. The topic coverage is one of the great strengths of the text. In addition to a thorough revision of topics, and deletion of obsolete material, the author has added end-of-chapter problems to enhance the "teachability" of this classic book in the classroom, as well as for self-study for practicing engineers.
Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with MATLAB®, Second Edition
by Karl E. Lonngren
from SciTech Publishing
MATLAB - FLEXIBILITY - AFFORDABILITY! These are the Lonngren et al advantages over similar texts. The new second edition provides greatly enhanced flexibility to the instructor faced with a one-term course, as well as those with a second term, whether required or elective, to continue using the same book. How? Optional new topics and extended discussion of core topics are provided in PDF files on the Student CD that match the text's new 2-color format. Additional topics can be added per instructor desires: just send SciTech the material for approval and it will be set into the 2-color PDF format! MATLAB is further capitalized on in this edition. A self-paced MATLAB Tutorial on the Student CD uses EM examples and notation, removing any burden on the instructor to teach MATLAB. MATLAB is then used in even more Animations (over 50, with code provided), student "Projects," and a fine-tuning of Examples, Problems, and Figures that employ MATLAB. An "Applications" folder on the CD further enhances the student's understanding and appreciation of the EM principles in the text. The unique "Shareware Community" allows and encourage all instructors to submit their own Animations, Projects, Applications and cool web links so that all may share in dynamically expanding resources to motivate a firm understanding and appreciation of Electromagnetic Theory The Second Edition, based on user feedback, is available January 2007. Attractive 2-color design Tighter page design and new paper - a more compact, lay-open book! MATLAB self-paced tutorial with EM examples on CD Supplemental chapters and sections in PDF files on CD "Applications" supplemental chapter in PDF on CD "Projects" requiring multi-steps problem-solving in MATLAB Redrawn 2-color figures, clean equation fonts
Introduction to Airborne Radar, Second Edition (Aerospace & Radar Systems)
by George W. Stimson
from SciTech Publishing
The completely rewritten and revised Second Edition updates a famous work originally published by the Hughes Aircraft Company. Much more than a simple introduction, the book is actually a history, reference, tech manual, and textbook rolled into one beautiful illustrated volume, packed with full color photos, drawings, tables and charts, plus knowledgeable, informative text.
Twelve new chapters cover all the sophisticated stealth radar techniques. Over 90% of the illustrations are in color as the book describes over a dozen airborne radar systems currently in service, from long-range surveillance to environmental monitoring. The first three chapters can be used as a stand-alone briefing on modern radar for readers who need a quick introduction.
Key Features:
- Brilliantly illustrated full-color photographs, graphs, and figures
- 12 new chapters completely update the content
- Excellent for both specialists and nonspecialists
Antenna Theory and Design, 2nd Edition
by Warren L. Stutzman
from Wiley
Highly respected authors have reunited to update the well known 1981 edition which is still hailed as one of the best in its field. This edition includes recent antenna innovations and applications. It features a succinct treatment of the finite difference, time domain (FDTD) computational technique. It is also the first text to treat physical theory of diffraction (PTD).
Ew 101: A First Course in Electronic Warfare (Artech House Radar Library)
by David Adamy
from Artech House Publishers
This popular series of tutorials, featured over a period of years in the Journal of Electronic Defense, is now available in a single volume. Organized into chapters with new introductory and supplementary material from the author, you get clear, concise and well-illustrated examinations of critical topics such as antenna parameters, receiver sensitivity, processing tasks, and search strategies, LPI signals, jamming, communication links, and simulation. The chapters define key terms and explain how and why particular technologies are relevant to electronic defense. Detailed charts, diagrams and formulas give you the practical knowledge you need to apply specific techniques in the field.
Antennas For All Applications
by John D. Kraus
from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math
This is an exciting revision of John Kraus' classic book Antennas, which has been long known as the "Antenna Bible". A new co-author, Ronald Marhefka has joined the author team for this revison. Many new, modern applications have been added-thus the title change to Antennas with All Applications. As well, the references have been updated to include recent additons to the literature.
Additionally, the book has been reorganized to make it more user-friendly for both students and professionals. The book now covers the fundamentals of various antennas and concepts in the first half of the book and then gets into more details on those same topics later in the book. This allows a one-semester course to just cover the fundamentals if desired, and a professional to focus on advanced topics if he or she wants.
