A thorough update to the Artech House classic Modern Radar Systems Analysis, this reference is a comprehensive and cohesive introduction to radar systems design and performance estimation. It offers you the knowledge you need to specify, evaluate, or apply radar technology in civilian or military systems. The book presents accurate detection range equations that let you realistically estimate radar performance in a variety of practical situations. With its clear, easy-to-understand language, you quickly learn the tradeoffs between choice of wavelength and radar performance and see the inherent advantages and limitations associated with each radar band. You find modeling procedures to help you analyze enemy systems or evaluate radar integrated into new weapon systems. The book covers ECM and ECCM for both surveillance and tracking to help you estimate the effects of active and passive ECM, select hardware/software for reconnaissance or jamming, and plan the operation of EW systems. As radar systems evolve, this book provides the equations needed to calculate and evaluate the performance of the latest advances in radar technology.

Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles is a comprehensive text for courses in radar systems and technology, a professional training textbook for formal in-house courses and for new hires; a reference for ongoing study following a radar short course and a self-study and professional reference book.

This book presents the basic principles, analyses, design formulas, and characteristics of various fin-line configurations. You'll find summaries of hundreds of rigorous formulas as well as approximate closed-form expressions, which can be readily programmed to generate design data for any structure. Discover millimeter-wave integrated circuits and components realized using the various fin-line techniques presented in the text, including directional couplers, power dividers, attenuators, detectors, modulators, and oscillators.

Radar Expert, Esteemed Author Gregory L. Charvat on CNN and CBSAuthor Gregory L. Charvat appeared on CNN on March 17, 2014 to discuss whether Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 might have literally flown below the radar. He appeared again on CNN on March 20, 2014 to explain the basics of radar, and he explored the hope and limitations of the technology i

A software that offers radar and electronic warfare engineers a tool for solving the radar equation for the maximum range at which a radar can achieve target detection under conditions of various interference sources, such as thermal noise, surface clutter, precipitation, chaff, and jamming.

This revised and updated edition to the popular Artech House book, Modern Radar Systems, offers complete and current coverage of the subject, including new material on accuracy, resolution, and convolution and correlation. The book features more than 540 illustrations (drawn in Maple V) that offer a greater understanding of various waveforms, and other two- and three-dimensional functions, to help you more accurately analyze radar system performance. The effects of pulse shaping on transmitter stability and spectra are discussed? a topic which is becoming more and more important in the age of electromagnetic compatibility. The book addresses the importance of low attenuation and reflection between the main radio frequency blocks, including the use of oversized waveguides for long runs.

Advances in DSP (digital signal processing) have radically altered the design and usage of radar systems -- making it essential for both working engineers as well as students to master DSP techniques. This text, which evolved from the author's own teaching, offers a rigorous, in-depth introduction to today's complex radar DSP technologies. Contents: Introduction to Radar Systems * Signal Models * Sampling and Quantization of Pulsed Radar Signals * Radar Waveforms * Pulse Compression Waveforms * Doppler Processing * Detection Fundamentals * Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) Detection * Introduction to Synthetic Aperture Imaging

Here's a thorough overview of the state-of-the-art in design and implementation of advanced tracking for single and multiple sensor systems. This practical resource provides modern system designers and analysts with in-depth evaluations of sensor management, kinematic and attribute data processing, data association, situation assessment, and modern tracking and data fusion methods as applied in both military and non-military arenas.

What is radar? What systems are currently in use? How do they work? Understanding Radar Systems provides engineers and scientists with answers to these critical questions, focusing on actual radar systems in use today. It's the perfect resource for those just entering the field or a quick refresher for experienced practitioners. The book leads readers through the specialized language and calculations that comprise the complex world of modern radar engineering as seen in dozens of state-of-the-art radar systems. The authors stress practical concepts that apply to all radar, keeping math to a minimum. Most of the book is based on real radar systems rather than theoretical studies. The result is a valuable, easy-to-use guide that makes the difficult parts of the field easier and helps readers do performance calculations quickly and easily.
