Basic Radar Analysis, Second Edition

This 2nd edition covers several key radar analysis areas, including the radar range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, waveforms, antennas, active arrays, receivers, signal processors, CFAR and chaff analysis. Analog signal processors and digital signal processors of the types used in modern phased array radars are discussed. Fundamentals of radar analysis including the range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, antennas, receivers, and signal processors for modern radars are also covered. This book addresses details of the radar range and detection probability equations and the tools radar engineers commonly use to perform signal processor and clutter analyses. Packed with details on how to perform radar range equation and detection analyses, RCS modeling, ambiguity function generation, and antenna pattern generation, this book also includes detailed analyses of coherent and non-coherent integration, design and analysis of analog and digital receivers and signal processors, stretch processor implementation, and SAR signal processor implementation. This resource also covers basic STAP implementation and analysis, as well as SLC design and implementation.
