✦ Synopsis

This compact yet comprehensive reference has compiled the most used principles, data, tables, and equations that are used by radar and aerospace system designers on a daily basis. Experts and non-experts alike will find this to be their go-to source for recalling and understanding the fundamentals and employing them in design and performance analysis. Inside and out, this book is designed for constant use. Features include discussion of principles, design, and operation including radar functions, types, frequencies, configurations and nomenclature; characteristics and capabilities of key subsystems; radar performance evaluation techniques and data; discussion and data on the radar environment; and radar techniques including waveform design, moving-target indication (MTI), displaced phase-center arrays (DPCA), pulse Doppler operation, space-time adaptive processing (STAP), and target classification, discrimination and identification.
