The material presented in this book is intended to provide the reader with a practical treatment of Weibull distribution as applied to radar systems. Topics include general derivation of Weibull distribution, measurements of Webull-distributed clutter, comparison of Webull distribution with various distributions including Rayleigh, gamma, log-normal and k- distributions, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors for Weibull clutter, non-parametric CFAR detectors, and signal detection in the time and frequency domains. In particular, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), which is a rigorously mathematical fit of the hypothetical distribution to the data, is emphasised. This book is written primarily for radar engineers. It is hoped that it will also be of value to teachers and graduate students and of interest to all who are working with Weibull distribution in various fields.

Written to support an intensive short course on the subject. The material is presented as a subset of electronic warfare and is concerned primarily with systems which generate and radiate signals to interfere with hostile radar systems. Chapters deal with search and track radar range and angle count

Assuming a familiarity with the basics of radiometry, this work concentrates on practical, not theoretical experiences dealing with radiometers for sensing the surface of the earth. Topics include: sensitivity and accuracy, block diagram level, the TUD noise-injection, calibration, imaging, spacebor

With this book practitioners responsible for analyzing, specifying or evaluating RCS imaging systems will be able to define performance limits using basic physical and mathematical principles. Information on instrumentation systems for acquiring data and two new chapters on applications of new techniques are included. The emphasis of the book is on imaging as applied to radar cross-section measurements. With it the reader will learn how to use the latest techniques to perform RCS imaging in laboratory or outdoor test ranges. This book is suitable for self-study or for use in a short course for practising engineers.

This book constitutes a short course on noise jamming, range, angle and velocity deception, and on-off keying. The book draws upon current computer simulation capabilities to determine quantitative values of the jammer-to-signal ratios that cause a specified jamming effect.

This hands-on reference details statistical methods, estimation algorithms, and design techniques for the measurement of rainfall and cloud cover from space.

A planned chapter on T/R modules does no

A desktop reference for designers of military communication systems using spread-spectrum techniques to achieve a low probability of intercept. Shows how to evaluate the detectability of candidate signal structures mathematically, and to select signal parameters that minimize the probability of dete

This book shows you how to consider AGC, signal thresholding, and range tracking loops from a practical viewpoint.

The essence of cryptology is the making and breaking of codes and ciphers. This is the second volume of articles (the first was titled Cryptologia yesterday, today and tomorrow ) culled from Cryptologia (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, IN). The articles are divided into five sectio

This book is devoted to the description of optimum signal processing algorithms which can find useful applications in radar systems. The monograph collects about twenty papers written by the Editor and his colleagues. Structurally the collection of the papers is divided into four parts. The first describes the adaptive cancellation techniques of radar clutter; the second part addresses the challenging problem of finding the optimum detection schemes to deal with target and clutter signals having non-Gaussian probability density function, and any type of autocorrelation function. The third group of papers considers the problem of finding the optimum detection schemes for the case of netted multi-static radar systems. The last part is concerned with more general processing techniques used in radar systems for surveillance. The aim of this text is to provide a theory of radar signal processing at a level which can be useful to practising radar engineers for analysis and design purposes. The relevance and modernity of the topics described ensure that the book can also be used with benefit for specialised graduate courses in communications and electronic engineering at universities and colleges as well as in continuing education courses for graduate employees in industry.

This book clearly describes all the radar detection and jamming equations you need to design and analyze search and track radars. It reviews the hardware, theories, and techniques involved in modern EW systems signal processing and discusses present and future trends in EW technology.
