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.
