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.
Review
`Consequently it can be recommended to students of avionics and aeronautical engineering, as well as to practising avionics engineers, for whom it will provide an excellent tutorial and work of reference.'
Electronics and Communication Engineering Journal
`His [Dick Collinson's] rigorous treatment of topics which are difficult to extract from the literature and his insights into the systems design approach make this book a fresh and useful addition for engineers in industry and for university courses covering aeronautical systems engineering...an essential reference for designers, manufacturers, and operators of modern avionic equipment.'
Flyer
`...of particular importance to those graduates aspiring to become involved either in the design of avionic systems, or in the design of those classes of aircraft in which such systems form an integral part.'
Aerospace
`...this volume could prove to be a valuable reference on the bookshelf - particularly to those with a flair for sums.'
The Log
`...an excellent tutorial and work of reference on this important subject.'
Computing and Control Engineering Journal
`The publishers are to be congratulated on producing a well presented and illustrated text.'
