Alfonso Farina, one of the world's leading experts on RADAR, provides a personal reflection on the major leading technical advancements during his distinguished career in academia and industry. Ultimately the author is looking to find beauty at the intersection of mathematics and engineering. He coins the term algolet as a small algorithm that he has used in his career which can be used to produce an illustration suitable for printing on a T-shirt. In doing so, he uses the 700-plus publications he has authored as his source.

In the first of a 3-part series he looks at the...

Polarimetric Radar Signal Processing provides an overview of advanced techniques and technologies developed for polarimetric radars to meet challenging performance requirements. It aims to cover some of the most challenging application fields, including: target detection for active and passive surveillance systems, interference suppression, detection of temporal changes in a given scene, environment classification, automatic target recognition, non-cooperative target imaging, polarimetric coding in radar and SAR systems, pol-SAR ambiguities suppression, space-debris detection, tracking, and...
