Radar System Analysis and Modeling
About this eBook
this reference is a comprehensive and cohesive introduction to radar
systems design and performance estimation. It offers you the knowledge
you need to specify, evaluate, or apply radar technology in civilian or
military systems. The book presents accurate detection range equations
that let you realistically estimate radar performance in a variety of
practical situations. With its clear, easy-to-understand language, you
quickly learn the tradeoffs between choice of wavelength and radar
performance and see the inherent advantages and limitations associated
with each radar band.
You find modeling procedures to help you analyze enemy systems or
evaluate radar integrated into new weapon systems. The book covers ECM
and ECCM for both surveillance and tracking to help you estimate the
effects of active and passive ECM, select hardware/software for
reconnaissance or jamming, and plan the operation of EW systems. As
radar systems evolve, this book provides the equations needed to
calculate and evaluate the performance of the latest advances in radar
technology.
