Have you ever wondered how stealth planes achieve "invisibility,"
how sunken ships are found, or how fishermen track schools of fish
in vast expanses of ocean? Radar and sonar echolocation -- a simple
matter of sending, receiving, and processing signals.
Weaving history with simple science, Mark Denny deftly reveals
the world of radar and sonar to the curious reader, technology
buff, and expert alike. He begins with an early history of the
Chain Home radar system used during World War II and then provides
accessible and engaging explanations of the physics that make
signal processing possible. Basic diagrams and formulas show how
electromagnetic and sound waves are transmitted, received, and
converted into images, allowing you to literally see in the
dark.
A section on bioacoustic echolocation, with a focus on the
superior sonar systems of bats and whales and a discussion of the
advanced technology of next-generation airborne signal processors,
opens the imagination to fascinating possibilities for the
future.
