This book is a practitioner's guide to all aspects of pulse Doppler
radar. It concentrates on airborne military radar systems since they are
the most used, most complex, and most interesting of the pulse Doppler
radars; however, ground-based and non-military systems are also
included.
It covers the fundamental science, signal processing, hardware issues,
systems design and case studies of typical systems. It will be a useful
resource for engineers of all types (hardware, software and systems),
academics, post-graduate students, scientists in radar and radar
electronic warfare sectors and military staff. Case studies add interest
and credibility by illustrating how and where the ideas presented within
the book work in real life.
This book is an important reference providing complete and up-to-date
coverage of a significant area of radar technology and is an important
source for engineers and academics who lecture this subject.
Key features include:
Methods of selection of precise PRF values
PRF schedule design
Strategies to combat the ghosting problem
Minimize range/velocity blindness and minimize dwell time
Case studies on generic radar types such as airborne fire control radar,
airborne early warningradar, active radar missile seekers and air
defense radars
