This book describes the steps involved in the evaluation of radar design and performance without complicated math. Easily understood by both engineers and non-technical personnel, it contains a comprehensive discussion of the complex factors involved in the radar design process.

"Blue Pelican Java" is a somewhat unusual high school computer science textbook. Most computer science texts will begin with a section on the history of computers followed with a flurry of definitions that are just "so many words" to the average student. The approach here is to first give the student some experience upon which to hang the definitions that come later. The usual practice of introducing classes and objects is deferred until the student has a firm grasp of the fundamentals (loops, decision structures, etc). Thus, the beginning student is not overwhelmed by the simultaneous introduction of OOPs and the fundamentals. The book includes plenty of exercises (many in "contest" form), programming projects, and a huge appendix.

Artech House is pleased to reissue this classic work, originally published in 1967 and still considered by many to be the definitive text on radar signal analysis and design. The book describes the fundamental signal processing techniques that enable radar engineers to "design in" desired characteristics to the radar signal.
