Detailed closed-loop bandwidth and transient response approach is a subject rarely found in current literature. This innovative resource offers practical explanations of closed-loop radar tracking techniques in range, Doppler and angle tracking. To address analog closed loop trackers, a review of basic control theory and modeling is included. In addition, control theory, radar receivers, signal processors, and circuitry and algorithms necessary to form the signals needed in a tracker are presented. Digital trackers and multiple target tracking are also covered, focusing on g-h and g-h-k filters)
The text provides a detailed mathematical underpinning for virtually all radar tracking methods and techniques with examples and simulation results to solidify the concepts. While written as a textbook, it can easily be used as a reference for the experienced practitioner.
