I was cautious after reading the other reviewer's comments regarding this book's typography, but I decided to check it out since my school's library carried a copy. My graduate studies concern acoustic phased arrays, so this could've been one of my best references.



I agree that the book's presentation is often unclear. Several diagrams depicting wavefronts and angles are incomprehensible -- I could deduce their associated equations, but only because I already knew the subject matter. The typesetting bothered me as well, but in principle I could live with it.



IMHO book tries to convey too much in too little space. It reads like succint class notes intended to refresh one's memory, and not as a standalone reference to a previously unknown subject. It would be useful to Prof. Naidu's students, but it's of questionable value to other readers.



I wish this review could've been more positive. With better editing, more detailed deductions and carefully drawn diagrams this could be one of the strongest references in the field of phased arrays. Regrettably, I can't recommend it.
