Opis

Providing a comprehensive reference for electrical engineers and graduate students, Radar Signal Analysis and Processing Using MATLAB offers an overview of radar signals and radar signal processing techniques with MATLAB(R)-based code. Each chapter covers a fundamental topic in radar systems, such as radar detection theory, signals and noise, the sampling theorem, Doppler processing and the moving target indicator, and discrete time signal processing techniques. With worked problems and examples, the book presents detailed mathematical derivations of modern radar waveforms, including linear FM, binary codes, and pseudo random waveforms.
