General analytical treatment of radar signal processing
Specific discussion of radar topics and radar types
Chapters contain:
derivations of the radar equation in many forms for an essential understanding of radar principles
examination of radar cross section and receiver noise
practical aspects of radar systems, including stretch processing, multipath propagation, and track filters
analysis of probability of detection and radar losses; CW and pulsed radars; and pulse compression
investigation of current research and industry trends, including clutter and wave propagation, Moving Target Indicator (MTI), tracking radars, and array antennas
a unique approach in presenting Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
756 equations and formulas providing detailed mathematical derivations
165 examples and exercise problems as well as 149 figures and plots
Introduction to Radar Analysis acts as an essential stepping stone toward specialized topics - providing a clear, accessible framework of radar fundamentals as well as a thorough study of advanced topics and radar technology issues.
