This third and final volume in the Principles of Modern Radar
series brings all the fundamentals and advanced techniques of the
prior volumes to their logical conclusion by presenting the
applications of radar. This unique book provides in-depth
discussions of the most important areas in current radar practice,
serving primarily radar practitioners and advanced graduate
students. For those needing to become experts in an advanced
technology or application area, Radar Applications should be the
foundation of their research before they tackle in-depth, single
topic advanced books and literature. These advanced books are
suggested at the end of each chapter to guide readers toward the
best published works. Principles of Modern Radar: Radar
Applications provides concise descriptions of the purposes,
principal issues, and radar methods found in a wide variety of
current radar types with military, commercial, and civilian uses.
These types of radar include continuous wave (CW) radar, weather
and air traffic control, pulse Doppler, fire control, ground moving
target indication, and unconventional applications such as
materials and ground penetrating radar. This book combines the best
attributes of edited and single-author references. It draws on the
expertise of authors from academia and industry, active in both
teaching and ongoing research. These specialists provide greater
depth and experience over the broad range of radar topics than
could any single author. As with the entire Principles of Modern
Radar series, this book was community reviewed by experts from
around the world for coherence and consistency.
"Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles" is a comprehensive
and modern textbook for courses in radar systems and technology at
the college senior and graduate student level; a professional
training textbook for formal in-house courses for new hires; a
reference for ongoing study following a radar short course; and a
self-study and professional reference book. "Principles of Modern
Radar" focuses on four key areas: Basic concepts, such as the the
radar range equation and threshold detection; radar signal
phenomenology, such as radar cross section models, clutter,
atmospheric effects, and Doppler effects; descriptions of all major
subsystems of modern radars, such as the antenna, transmitter,
receiver, including modern architectural elements such as exciters,
and advanced signal processors; and signal and data processing
basics, from digital signal processing (DSP) fundamentals, through
detection, Doppler processing, waveforms and pulse compression,
basic imaging concepts, and tracking fundamentals. While several
established books address introductory radar systems, "Principles
of Modern Radar" differs from these in its breadth of coverage, its
emphasis on current methods (without losing sight of bedrock
principles), and its adoption of an appropriate level of
quantitative rigor for the intended audience of students and new
professional hires. The manuscript for this book was reviewed by
over 50 professionals in academia, military, and commercial
enterprises. These reviewers were among thousands of potential
users approached by the publisher and asked to share their
expertise and experience in radar training and instruction. Their
extensive comments, corrections, and insights ensure that
"Principles of Modern Radar" will meet the needs of modern radar
educators and students around the world. Written and edited by
world-renowned radar instructors and critically reviewed by users
before publication, this is truly a radar community-driven book.
This book provides you with a complete understanding of error
effects in coherent systems. Covering performance issues never
before addressed in one source, it places special emphasis on phase
noise effects and detection of targets in clutter. Supported by 196
illustrations, 260 equations, and 150 references.
This second of three volumes in the Principles of Modern Radar
series offers a much-needed professional reference for practicing
radar engineers. It provides the stepping stones under one cover to
advanced practice with overview discussions of the most commonly
used techniques for radar design, thereby bridging readers to
single-topic advanced books, papers, and presentations. It spans a
gamut of exciting radar capabilities from exotic waveforms to
ultra-high resolution 2D and 3D imaging methods, complex adaptive
interference cancellation, multi-target tracking in dense
scenarios, multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) and much more.
All of this material is presented with the same careful balance of
quantitative rigor and qualitative insight of Principles of Modern
Radar: Basic Principles. Each chapter is likewise authored by
recognized subject experts, with the rigorous editing for
consistency and suggestions of numerous volunteer reviewers from
the radar community applied throughout. Advanced academic and
training courses will appreciate the sets of chapter-end problems
for students, as well as worked solutions for instructors.
Extensive reference lists show the way for further study.
