This includes the use of satellites, low radio frequencies, the millimeter/sub-mm universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background and the increased importance of mm/sub-mm dust emission. Several derivations and presentations of technical aspects of radio astronomy and receivers, such as receiver noise, the Hertz dipole and  beam forming have been updated, expanded, re-worked or complemented by alternative derivations. These reflect advances in technology. The wider bandwidths of the Jansky-VLA and long wave arrays such as LOFAR and mm/sub-mm arrays such as ALMA required an expansion of the discussion of interferometers and aperture synthesis. Developments in data reduction algorithms have been included. As a result of the large amount of data collected in the past 20 years, the discussion of solar system radio astronomy, dust emission, and radio supernovae has been revisited. The chapters on spectral line emission have been updated to cover measurements of the neutral hydrogen radiation from the early universe as well as measurements with new facilities. Similarly the discussion of molecules in interstellar space has been expanded to include the molecular and dust emission from protostars and very cold regions. Several worked examples have been added in the areas of  fundamental physics, such as pulsars. Both students and practicing astronomers will appreciate this new up-to-date edition of Tools of Radio Astronomy. 410 0$aAstronomy and Astrophysics Library,$x0941-7834 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aSignal processing 606 $aImage processing 606 $aSpeech processing systems 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aSignal, Image and Speech Processing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24051 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aSignal processing. 615 0$aImage processing. 615 0$aSpeech processing systems. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aSignal, Image and Speech Processing. 676 $a522.682 700 $aWilson$b Thomas L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0309805 702 $aRohlfs$b Kristen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHüttemeister$b Susanne$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438119103321 996 $aTools of Radio Astronomy$92169038 997 $aUNINA
