Radar II: Theory and System Design

Radar systems play an important role in today's world. Aviation could not exist without them. But also shipping, traffic and remote sensing extensively employ radar. In today's systems, signal processing is the central theme that enables all radar applications. However, thorough understanding of the physical and electrical engineering radar principles are essential to the successful radar engineer.

"Radar Systems" provides an introduction to the design and operation of modern radar systems. Topics include radar principles and designs, the interaction of radar with the environment, i.e. clutter and detection of targets, subsequent signal processing and signal to noise topics. Furthermore waveform design driven by range and Doppler measurements, suppression of ambiguities are treated. Finally modern developments in active arrays and digital beamforming are discussed.
