This book text provides an overview of the radar target recognition process and covers the key techniques being developed for operational systems. It is based on the fundamental scientific principles of high resolution radar, and explains how the underlying techniques can be used in real systems, taking into account the characteristics of practical radar system designs and component limitations. It also addresses operational aspects, such as how high resolution modes would fit in with other functions such as detection and tracking.
Wirth (senior consultant, Research Establishment for Applied Science, Germany) introduces the techniques, procedures, and concepts related to modern radar using active array antennas. Chapters cover signal representation and mathematical tools, statistical signal theory, array antennas, beamforming, sampling and digitization of signals, pulse compression with polyphase codes, detection of targets by a pulse series, sequential detection, adaptive beamforming for jammer suppression, monopulse direction estimation, superresolution in angle, space-time adaptive processing, synthetic aperture radar with active phased arrays, inverse synthetic aperture radar, experimental phased array systems, the floodlight radar concept, and system and parameter considerations.

This one-of-a-kind book features 536 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.
This fully illustrated volume covers the history of radar meteorology, deals with the issues in the field from both the operational and the scientific viewpoint, and looks ahead to future issues and how they will affect the current atmosphere. With over 200 contributors, the volume is a product of the entire community and represents an unprecedented compendium of knowledge in the field.
