✦ Synopsis

This book is a text-reference designed for electrical engineering graduate students as well as for corporate in-house training programs for radar design engineers, especially systems engineers and analysts who would like to gain hands-on, practical knowledge and skills in radar design fundamentals, advanced radar concepts, trade-offs for radar design and radar performance analysis. This is a concise yet complete treatment of the relationship between mission-level requirements and specific hardware and software requirements and capabilities. It covers all phases of design and development, including the development of initial concepts and overall system requirements, system architecture, hardware and software subsystem requirements, detailed algorithms and system integration and test. Rather than being a theory and derivations-type, this book is applications-oriented making it different from other published works on this subject.
