About this title

Review

From the reviews of the fifth edition:

"A very significant change from earlier versions is the addition of problem sets at the ends of each of the 16 chapters ... . the discussion of instrumentation and data collection and processing which looks forward to ALMA and the SKA, making the volume useful, the authors hope, for radio engineers (a grand old name, which they apply to Jansky and Reber) as well as radio astronomers ... . I’m sure you will find this iteration ... as useful as the previous four." (Virginia Trimble, The Observatory, Vol. 129 (1211), August, 2009)

"The publication of a fifth edition of Tools of Radio Astronomy is in itself proof of the success of the book. ... will be useful to communication engineers, a claim about which one can have some reservations. ... this up-to-date version will be of invaluable use to the observational astronomer. ... provides a toolbox of essential material, in particular in the area of the analysis and interpretation of radio-astronomy observations. The book should be on the desk of every practicing radio astronomer ... ." (Jacob W. M. Baars, The Radio Science Bulletin, Issue 330, September, 2009)
