An Introduction to Radio Astronomy

Written by two prominent figures in radio astronomy, this well-established, graduate-level textbook is a thorough introduction to radio telescopes and techniques for students and researchers new to the subject. This third edition describes applications of fundamental techniques to newly developing radio telescopes, and includes two new chapters on cosmology.
