"Covers a wide range of topics. Should be both interesting and challenging to the novice. ...a handy guide for those in the field." -- Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

Discusses theory and design of pulsed Doppler radar and MTI with details on clutter, clutter modelling and theory of optimum processing. The book also covers special topics related to the use of the Doppler effect in radar systems which involve the application of special Doppler signal processing techniques that provide unique, otherwise unachievable features within the radar system.

Including a systematic introduction to the fundamental principles of microwave radar, this text presents an extensive discussion of radar imaging. It also features information on image superresolution, automatic target recognition, moving target indication, and space-time adaptive processing (STAP).

The most complete compilation of millimeter-wave theory and data available, this book addresses those phenomenological characteristics of radar clutter and propagation in the millimeter-wave region that are of particular importance in the design, test and permutation of millimeter-wave sensors. The text provides in-depth information on both electromagnetic propagation and clutter backscatter effects in the millimeter-wave region. Nicholas C. Currie is also the editor of Radar Reflectivity Measurement: Techniques and Applications and Principles and Applications of Millimeter-Wave Radar.

This definitive book supplies the information needed to specify and design a multifunction array radar system. With minimal mathematics, the book shows how radars smaller in aperture and power can meet demands formerly conceived for the larger rotating and phased array radars.

Looks at Radar cross-section (RCS) and its control by describing the techniques for controlling the RCS of targets, by providing analytical methods for estimating RCS, by developing models for the design of low RCS targets and antennas, and by giving a treatment of RCS enhancement techniques. This book aims to cover a wide variety of analytical, numerical and experimental results to enable the reader to judge the applicability, validity and accuracy of specific methods in this subject area. The book is designed to be of interest to practicing radar system engineers and to graduate students.

Spaceborne Weather Radar details statistical methods, estimation algorithms, and design techniques for the measurement of rainfall and cloud cover from space.

A short course on noise jamming, range, angle and velocity deception and on-off keying. Demonstrated are analyses of radar and ECM interaction problems. In the toughest cases, when jamming is difficult to analyze, the reader will see how computer simulation can be used to investigate radar ECM interactions.

With this book practitioners responsible for analyzing, specifying or evaluating RCS imaging systems will be able to define performance limits using basic physical and mathematical principles. Information on instrumentation systems for acquiring data and two new chapters on applications of new techniques are included. The emphasis of the book is on imaging as applied to radar cross-section measurements. With it the reader will learn how to use the latest techniques to perform RCS imaging in laboratory or outdoor test ranges. This book is suitable for self-study or for use in a short course...

This text defines small-aperture radio direction-finding and identifies its unique niche in the passive radiolocation discipline. This book provides a discussion of the functional elements of radio direction-finding (DF) and a definition of small-aperture DF based on linear wavelength criteria. It introduces the topic of signal direction-of-arrival measurement techniques using amplitude, phase and time. The book also presents the history and evolution of the discipline as a whole and should appeal to engineers in the areas of radio, antennas, radar and electronic warfare.
