Advanced Radar Techniques and Systems

Within the wide and fascinating field of radar techniques and systems, this book describes in detail a number of areas of research related to system architecture and design, phenomenology, array antennas and signal processing.

The topics covered include:

• Radar detection
• Phenomenology of clutter and related constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processors
• Doppler techniques for surveillance radar, multifunction radar and synthetic aperture radar
• Clutter suppression: moving target indicators and detectors, adaptive and optimum MTI
• Rejection of jamming in space and frequency domains
• Concepts of radar target identification
• Architectural options and trend in radar signal processing
• Phased arrays: array theory, analysis and synthesis techniques; array elements and mutual coupling effects; architecture, elements, design criteria and low-sidelobe techniques for active arrays
• Bistatic radar
• Space-based radar

The book is primarily aimed at radar engineers and researchers, as well as at students of advanced radar.
