✦ Synopsis

Annotation

In 1995, Taylor's introduced engineers to the theory behind a new concept for remote sensing. Fourteen contributed chapters present the theory, challenges, solutions, technology, and examples of UWB radar remote sensing, and address the potential future paths of this systems technology, which necessitates a philosophical adjustment as range resolution becomes smaller than the target. International experts present such concepts as the differences between UWB and conventional radars, improving over-resolved target detection, receivers and waveforms, micropower systems, high power switching, and bistatic radar polarimetry. Taylor is a retired US Air Force staff engineer. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).  Read more...

Abstract:

Presents the problems, solutions, and examples of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar remote sensing. This book discusses the theory and ideas for systems development and their potential capabilities. It presents concepts such as the differences between UWB and conventional radars, improving over-resolved target detection, and receivers and waveforms.  Read more...
