Modern Radar Systems: Second Edition

摘要

The second edition of Modern Radar Sys-I terns is an extensively revised and expanded version of the successful first edition, published in 2001. Chapter 1 presents the fundamentals of radar, including both primary and secondary radar. Chapter 2 introduces the fundamental methods of vector presentation, modulation polyphase signals and noise, and the probability distributions that are used to represent them. The discussion of radar subsystems starts with Chapter 3 on transmitters, where new material has been included on solid-state devices. Chapter 4 on waveguides and transmission lines now includes material on stripline technology and the description of the many types of microwave components has been updated. An expanded Chapter 5 describes antennas, including a discussion and plots of low-side-lobe monopulse patterns. Chapter 6 covers factors outside the radar: propagation, scattering and clutter. Continuing with radar subsystems, Chapter 7 is dedicated to the receiver, followed by Chapter 8 on matched and matching filters.
