Radar System Performance Modeling, 2nd Edition

Description

Turn to this expanded second edition of an Artech House bestseller for the most current and comprehensive coverage of radar system performance analysis and system-level modeling. This revised edition features new material on airborne and space-based radar, radar tracking techniques, radar system design, and operational and performance issues. It also provides new detailed examples, problem sets and solutions, and a comprehensive self-test to evaluate your understanding.

Featuring over 255 equations and more than 120 illustrations, this systematic reference offers you a clear understanding of the basics of radar design, operation and applications, including radar configurations, radar parameters, radar waveform characteristics, and functional radar models and their software representations. It provides you with fully developed models for radar detection, search modes, measurement and tracking, environmental effects, countermeasures and counter-countermeasures, and airborne and space-based radar. A final section includes examples that combine the various radar models together to solve practical radar problems.

CD-ROM Included! Features custom radar functions and equations that let you calculate the radar performance parameters covered by the book in Excel worksheets.
