Typically, there are over twenty radio systems on board the average commercial jet aircraft dealing with communication, navigation and surveillance functions. Other communications systems are required between the airline operation center and the pilot and sometimes between the passengers and the ground. Very high frequency (VHF) air-to-ground communication is usually the main method of information and control exchange between pilot and air traffic control. Satellite and high frequency radio links are used to complement this system for long range or oceanic information exchanges. There is also an insight into future possibilities as technologies progress and airspace operation and control scenarios change. Ideal for civil aviation authorities, airspace management providers and regulatory organizations, Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks will also appeal to aircraft and radio equipment manufacturers and university students studying aeronautical or electronic engineering. A comprehensive guide to current systems, networks and topologies, this book covers application requirements for communication and related radio-navigation and surveillance functions in aeronautical systems.

Key features:

- Considers all types of aircraft from light aircraft to large commercial jets and specialized supersonic aircraft.
- Provides a broad and concise look at the various communications systems on board a typical aircraft from a theoretical, system level and practical standpoint with worked examples and case studies throughout.
- Provides a complete list of formula for engineering design analysis and quick checks on system performance or interference analysis.
- Looks at existing airport radio communication infrastructure and proposals for new very high bandwidth radio applications within the airport environment.
