Description
This is the second volume in the Principles of Modern Radar series. While the first volume, Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles provides fundamental discussions of radar operation, Principles of Modern Radar: Advanced Techniques discusses key aspects of radar signal processing, waveforms, and other important radar techniques critical to the performance of current and future radar systems. It will serve as an excellent reference for the practicing radar engineer or graduate student needing to advance their understanding of how radar is utilized, managed, and operated.
What this Book Addresses
Modern radar systems are remarkably sophisticated. They can be configured in numerous ways to accomplish a variety of missions. As a result, radar is a highly multidisciplinary field with experts specializing in phenomenology, antenna technology, receivers or transmitters, waveforms, digital design, detection, estimation and imaging algorithms, electronic protection, tracking, target identification, multi-sensor fusion, systems engineering, test and evaluation, and concepts of operation. In addition to tremendous advances in computing technology, a trend is afoot in radar to move the digitization step closer and closer to the antenna element. This places great emphasis on the importance of the collection approach, sensor topology, and the particular algorithms and techniques applied to the incoming data to produce a superior product.
Principles of Modern Radar: Advanced Techniques addresses this aforementioned trend and the most important aspects of modern radar systems, including quite current subtopics. Readers will find modern treatment of multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) radar, compressive sensing, passive bistatic radar, signal processing, and dismount/human detection via radar. The chapters are organized in five sections: waveforms and spectrum, synthetic aperture radar, array processing and interference mitigation techniques, post-processing considerations, and emerging techniques.
