Radar Principles for the Non-specialist, 3rd Edition continues its
popular tradition: to distil the very complex technology of radar into
its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the
most modern and complex systems on the other. It starts with
electromagnetic propagation, describes a radar of the utmost simplicity,
and derives the radar range equation from that simple radar. Once the
radar range equation is available, the book attacks the meaning of each
term in it, moving through antennas, detection and tracking, radar
cross-sections, waveforms and signal processing, and systems
applications. At the finish, the reader should be able to do an
acceptable, first order radar design and to critique the design of
others. Students, engineers, scientists and managers will benefit from
this book. The more noticeable enhancements to the third edition are the
additions of equation numbers, more numerical examples, tables and
figures showing many of the concepts numerically, and exercises for
almost all of the concepts. These enhancements make the book easier to
learn from and easier to teach out of.
