Radar Foundations for Imaging and Advanced Concepts, Sullivan

0.0

This comprehensive text includes a wide rangeof topics from the basic through current researchtrends and covers an extremely broad areas of theworld of microwave radar. The coverage of manyimportant radar topics separates this book from allothers.The book begins with radar fundamentals, goes on todiscuss imaging radar, including synthetic apertureradar (SAR) in some detail, and also addressesimportant topics such as STAP, air-to-air radar,bistatic and low-probability of intercept (LPI) radar,and such applications as weather radar and ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Throughout the book, eachtopic follows logically from previous ones. At the endis a fifty-page Glossary that defines all the key radarterms introduced in the book and cross-referencesthe sections in which they first appear.The material in this book is intended forundergraduate and postgraduate courses in radarfor electrical engineering students. It will also beextremely helpful to designers, systems managers,practicing engineers in self-study, researchers andscientists, and those involved in training. The readerof this book will be much better prepared fordynamic topics in the radar literature. Table of Contents Foreword by John N. Entzminger. Preface. Acknowledgements.
