Here's a ground-breaking new book that provides you with the knowledge you need to perform effective computer simulation of scattering for the real targets and conditions of radio wave propagation. By replacing field tests with the computer simulation methods presented in this unique resource, you save time and money in the early stages of research and development. Supplemented with 283 equations and 121 illustrations, you get practical guidance in: estimating the effect of various signatures of new radar with target recognition; evaluating and comparing the effectiveness and complexity of recognition algorithms before they are actually introduced into radar; formulating requirements to radar subsystems and evaluating their tolerances; and predicting future radar performance. What's more, the book helps you perform initial simulation of the recognition algorithm in various conditions, where the practical receiving of experimental data is restricted. Other key discussions include the theory of target recognition, results of studying various recognition methods, and simulation in radar detection and tracking.
