Radar
is a critical element of many surveillance systems that prevail in today’s
military and civilian environments. Its role in these environments includes
target detection and identification, navigation and mapping, target tracking and
weapons guidance. Modern radar is capable of extracting surprisingly accurate
parametric information about its targets including range, bearing, velocity,
configuration and identity.
This
text covers the basics of radar operations and theory, provides a background
into the many radar-related areas and covers the electronic warfare (EW) issues
from a radar perspective. Introduction of important radar principles is combined
with an explanation of the major types of radar wherever possible so that the
reader becomes familiar with the principles and radar types
simultaneously.
The
text is specifically designed for non-technical people who require an
understanding of the most important radar principles, or people with a technical
background looking for a broad introduction to radar systems. Accordingly, the
text avoids as much as possible of the mathematical complexity inherent in the
subject. Those with a more technical bent can delve further into the subject by
referring to the endnotes listed at the end of each chapter. |
