This book is devoted to the description of optimum signal processing
algorithms which can find useful applications in radar systems. The
monograph collects about twenty papers written by the Editor and his
colleagues. Structurally the collection of the papers is divided into
four parts. The first describes the adaptive cancellation techniques of
radar clutter; the second part addresses the challenging problem of
finding the optimum detection schemes to deal with target and clutter
signals having non-Gaussian probability density function, and any type
of autocorrelation function. The third group of papers considers the
problem of finding the optimum detection schemes for the case of netted
multi-static radar systems. The last part is concerned with more general
processing techniques used in radar systems for surveillance.
The aim of this text is to provide a theory of radar signal processing
at a level which can be useful to practising radar engineers for
analysis and design purposes. The relevance and modernity of the topics
described ensure that the book can also be used with benefit for
specialised graduate courses in communications and electronic
engineering at universities and colleges as well as in continuing
education courses for graduate employees in industry.
