ECE DL EMF 095 

Radar is one of the major applications of electronics and electromagnetics. This book provides a solid understanding of radar fundamentals and applications, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. Beginning with the electromagnetic propa-gation principles and using the simplest mathematics possible, the book first describes a radar of utmost simplicity and explains the meaning of each term in the radar range equation. It then moves through concise, yet complete, discussions of antennas, detection and tracking, radar cross-section, waveforms and signal processing, and systems applications in an orderly progression. The book also contains recent developments in electronic countermeasures, jamming and anti-jamming, phased array, pulse doppler, synthetic aperture, laser radars, and kalman filtering. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce the concepts presented and illustrate their real-life applications. A practical glossary helps readers look up and apply key terms. This book essentially teaches the way radars work and will be useful not only to students of electrical engineering at the undergraduate level but also to students offering a course in radar at the postgraduate level. - from Amzon
