Fundamentals of Radar Engineering

Discusses theory and design of pulsed Doppler radar and MTI with details on clutter, clutter modelling and theory of optimum processing. The book also covers special topics related to the use of the Doppler effect in radar systems which involve the application of special Doppler signal processing techniques that provide unique, otherwise unachievable features within the radar system.

What This Book Is This book is about radar. It will teach you the essentials of radar, the underlying principles. It is not like an engineering handbook which pro vides detailed design equations without explaining either derivation or rationale. It is not like a graduate school textbook which may be abstruse and esoteric to the point of incomprehensibility. And it is not like an anthology of popular magazine articles which may be gaudy but superfi cial. It is an attempt to distill the very complex, rich technology of radar into its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. Who It's For If your work requires you to supervise or meet as coequals with radar systems engineers or designers, this book will allow you to understand them, to question them intelligently and perhaps to provide them with a perspective (a dispassionate yet competent view) that they lack. If you are trained in another discipline but have been made the man ager of a radar project or a system program that has one or more radars as sub-systems, this book will provide you with the tools you need, not only to give your team members confidence, but also to make a substantive technical contribution yourself.

This newly revised and updated edition of the classic Artech House book, MTI and Pulsed Doppler Radar, offers you a complete and current presentation of the subject. You find expert radar design and analysis guidance, as well as clear descriptions and characteristics of modern Doppler radars that cannot be found in any other book. The second edition includes a new interactive CD-ROM with MATLAB software to help save you time with your challenging work in the field. From fundamental principles, Doppler radar waveform design and filtering, Doppler radar performance measures, and clutter properties and data - to optimum radar Doppler processing, MTI systems, pulsed Doppler systems, and special topics in Doppler radar systems, this comprehensive resource offers in depth discussions on a wide range of critical topics for your radar design projects. This detailed reference is supported with over 350 illustrations and more than 730 equations. CD-ROM Included: Contains time-saving MATLAB software that serves as a valuable tool for the analysis and design of MTI and Pulsed Doppler Radar. The disc also includes several full-color images that support key topics discussed in the book.
