سیستم‌های راداری مدرن، ویرایش دوم

The radar and its ground environment -- Usual and unusual concepts -- Transmitters -- Microwave waveguide and transmission line system -- Antennas -- Factors outside the radar : propagation, scattering, and clutter -- Receivers -- Matched and matching filters -- Detectors -- Analogue to digital conversion -- Signal processing -- Threshold and detection -- Determination of position -- Performance -- Statistics -- Transforms "This revised and updated edition of Modern Radar Systems, offers coverage of the subject and extends the treatment into the lesser understood statistical domain. The book features 686 illustrations (146 which are new to this edition) that offer a greater understanding of the waveforms and their spectra drawn in two and three dimensions." "Practitioners find coverage of noise to echo and clutter signals to obtain probabilities of false alarm and detection. Moreover, the book illustrates the range extents of the ground, sea, and rain clutter with the spectra. This unique resource presents a number of atmospheric models together with their range-height diagrams and the effects of ground reflection. Statistical aspects of detection are discussed analytically and graphically. Each chapter ends with a performance section, showing the effect of the block on the complete radar system budget for range, accuracy, and stability. This second edition also includes an expanded appendix on tapering, including the limitations of using digital processing."--BOOK JACKET

This revised and updated edition to the popular Artech House book, Modern Radar Systems, offers complete and current coverage of the subject, including new material on accuracy, resolution, and convolution and correlation. The book features more than 540 illustrations (drawn in Maple V) that offer a greater understanding of various waveforms, and other two- and three-dimensional functions, to help you more accurately analyze radar system performance. The effects of pulse shaping on transmitter stability and spectra are discussed - a topic which is becoming more and more important in the age of electromagnetic compatibility. The book addresses the importance of low attenuation and reflection between the main radio frequency blocks, including the use of oversized waveguides for long runs.

Offers coverage of the radar systems, including material on critical aspects such as accuracy, resolution, and convolution and correlation. This book features more than 540 illustrations offering a greater understanding of various waveforms, and other two- and three-dimensional functions. The early radars worked by sending out a continuous wave and the reflected energy showed the presence of an object, such as a ship or an aircraft.
