This revised and updated edition of the author's first book, High Resolution Radar Imaging , contains almost 40% new material. With this book practitioners responsible for analyzing, specifying, or evaluating RCS imaging systems will be able to define state-of-the-art performance limits using basic physical and mathematical principles. Information on instrumentation systems for acquiring data and two entirely new chapters on applications of new techniques are included. The emphasis of the book is on imaging as applied to radar cross-section measurements. With it you will learn how to use the latest techniques to perform RCS imaging in laboratory or outdoor test ranges. Supported by over 170 equations, almost 200 illustrations, and over 100 references, this book is suitable for self-study or for use in a short course for practicing engineers.
Introduction. Fundamental Imaging Concepts. Instrumentation and Signal Processing for RCS Imaging. Two-Dimensional Range, Cross-Range Imaging of Rotating Objects. Focused Synthetic-Aperture Processing. Tomographic Imaging. Maximum Entropy Methods. Appendices.
