Principles of Modern Radar ─ Basic Principles

Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles is a comprehensive and modern textbook for courses in radar systems and technology at the college senior and graduate student level; a professional training textbook for formal in-house courses for new hires; a reference for ongoing study following a radar short course; and a self-study and professional reference book.

"Principles of Modern Radar engages the radar student, the new radar practitioner, and even the experienced radar designer through its focus on modern radar fundamentals, problem sets stretching these fundamentals, and advanced treatments of signal processing and tracking. That it achieves these results with clear readability and precise mathematics is even more remarkable."

Dr. John Milan, radar consultant; formerly 36 years with ITT Gilfillan, IEEE AESS Radar Systems Panel

While several established books address introductory radar systems, Principles of Modern Radar differs from these in its breadth of coverage, its emphasis on current methods (without losing sight of bedrock principles), and its adoption of an appropriate level of quantitative rigor for the intended audience of students and new professional hires.

The manuscript for this book was reviewed by over 50 volunteer professionals (see Acknowledgments) in academia, military, and commercial enterprises. Their extensive comments, corrections, and insights ensure that Principles of Modern Radar will meet the needs of modern radar educators and students around the world. Written and edited by world-renowned radar instructors and critically reviewed by users before publication, this is truly a "radar community-driven" book.
