Radar Principles

A comprehensive introduction to radar principles

This volume fills a need in industry and universities for acomprehensive introductory text on radar principles. Well-organizedand pedagogically driven, this book focuses on basic and optimummethods of realizing radar operations, covers modern applications,and provides a detailed, sophisticated mathematical treatment.Author Peyton Z. Peebles, Jr., draws on an extensive review ofexisting radar literature to present a selection of the mostfundamental topics. He clearly explains general principles, such aswave propagation and signal theory, before advancing to morecomplex topics involving aspects of measurement and tracking. Thelast chapter provides a self-contained treatment of digital signalprocessing, which can be explored independently. Ample teaching andself-study help is incorporated throughout, including:
* Numerous worked-out examples illustrating radar theory
* Many end-of-chapter problems
* Hundreds of illustrations, including system block diagrams,demonstrating how radar functions are achieved
* Appended review material and useful mathematical formulas
* An extensive bibliography and references.

*An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available from the Wiley editorialdepartment.

Radar Principles is destined to become the standard text on radarfor graduate and senior-level courses in electrical engineeringdepartments as well as industrial courses. It is also an excellentreference for engineers who are typically required to learn radarprinciples on the job, and for anyone working in radar-relatedindustries as well as in aerospace and naval research.
