| Page | Line, figure or equation | Correction |
| 64 | 2 | Polarisation mismatch loss should be: L_pol -> 1/cos^2(Delta phi) |
| 75 | Table 3.10 | ‘Slant path gaseous attenuation’ row should read: ‘0.09, 0.12, 0.12, 0.12’ |
| 83 | 30 | The mean signal amplitude should be: s=sqrt(v^2+2 sigma_R ^2) |
| 116 | 9 | replace L_a by L_atm |
| 116 | 10 | The formula should read: ( 1 – 1 / L_atm ) k T_cos B |
| 116 | 10 | The sentence should read: “Power is absorbed along the slant path from the adjacent atmosphere and in order to maintain local equilibrium, this power must be balanced by radiation.” |
| 149 | Equation 5.55 | The final term should be: u_(k-1) X^(k-1) |
| 150 | 24 | The text should read: the encoded bit rate which is 1/r times the input data rate |
| 241 | 9 | The text after the dash (-) in bullet 5 should read as a new bullet. |
| 244 | 16 | Replace ‘Integrated Decoder Receiver’ by ‘Integrated Receiver Decoder’ |
| 388 | 26 | Delete dimensions for PDOP [i.e. sentence should read: “GPS specifies a PDOP of <=2.6 at 95% availability and a PDOP of <=6 at 98%.] |
| 456 | 38 | Replace ‘global HAPs’ by ‘Global HAPs’ |
