Description
Here is the most comprehensive treatment of all aspects of radar design. Radar System Design and Analysis covers the complete range of radar design and applications - from the basics to the most up-to-date developments in radar theory and installations. Easy-to-read and understand, Radar System Design is the ideal textbook for students needing an introduction to radar basics - including time delay, Doppler principle, and frequency-time relationships. The book features problem sets and answers throughout. Experienced radar engineers and designer will benefit from Radar System Design and Analysis' comprehensive discussion of methods of calculating clutter power, synthetic array radars, pulse compression methods, and ECM calculations. Radar System Design gives you hundreds of ready-to use radar design calculation methods, and will bring you up-to-date on new radar developments including PRF radar performance, millimeter wave and laser radars.
