Principles of Radar

0.0

Radar is one of the major applications of electronics and electromagnetics. This book provides a solid understanding of radar fundamentals and applications, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. Key Features Concise, self-contained chapters for easy comprehension of concepts. A practical glossary to help readers look up and apply key radar terms. 97 figures, 6 tables, 253 equations, and 61 exercises. New to this edition : Every section of each chapter is revised. Additions of equation numbers. More numerical examples, table and figures showing many of the concepts numerically. Exercises for almost all the concepts. This book essentially teaches “the way radars work” and will be useful not only to students of electrical engineering at the undergraduate level but also to students offering a course in radar at the postgraduate level. About The Author Major General John C. Toomay, systems engineering consultant, government and industry. He has more than 25 years experience in research and development and managed major radar programs in the U.S. Air Force and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He has served on the Board of Directors of Texas Instruments and the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board and has lectured and written frequently on defense technology, systems, and policy. Mr. Paul J. Hannen has extensive experience in radar systems, electronic combat, survivability assessment, and modeling and simulation. He is presently a Systems Engineer with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Dayton, Ohio, and an Adjunct Professor with Wright State University. Previously, he worked as an electronics engineer with the USAF Avionics Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Mr. Hannen received a BS (1979) and MS (1981) in Systems Engineering from Wright State University Table Of Contents Preface. What Is New in the Third Edition? Symbols.
