  • Author
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.

Software Included
The accompanying CD-ROM contains example calculations, exercise problems, and analysis programs written in MathCad 11 and HTML.

The Radar Range Equation. The Theory of Target Detection. Targets and Interference. Radar Antennas. Waveforms and Signal Processing. Radar Propagation. Radar Surveillance. Radar Tracking and Measurement. Radar Loss Budget.

David K. Barton is a consultant on radar systems, recently retired from ANRO Engineering, Inc., of Hudson, Massachusetts. Since 1975, he has been the series editor of Artech House’s highly successful Radar series. Holder of the IEEE’s Centennial Medal, Millennium Medal, and Dennis J. Picard Medal, he is widely regarded throughout the world as a leading authority on radar technology. He is the co-editor of Radar Technology Encyclopedia, CD-ROM Edition (Artech House, 1999), author of Modern Radar System Analysis (Artech House, 1988), and coauthor of Modern Radar System Analysis Software and User’s Manual: Version 2.0 (Artech House, 1993).
