Features: This book systematically discusses the development process of millimeter-wave radar and technology, the working principles of millimeter-wave radar, and the development trends of millimeter-wave radar transmitters, receivers, antennas, and devices. It also discusses the characteristics of millimeter-wave radar and special issues in its design, with substantial coverage on the application examples of millimeter-wave radar in military and civilian fields. Finally, it introduces millimeter-wave phased array radar, which is currently a topic of significant interest domestically and internationally. The author hopes that the publication of this book will help identify and narrow the gap between us and developed countries in millimeter-wave radar technology, benefiting researchers engaged in this field. Since the 1980s, millimeter-wave technology has made significant advancements and has entered a stage of widespread system applications, with millimeter-wave radar systems being one of the most active areas. This book systematically discusses the principles of millimeter-wave radar and introduces various applications and development trends of millimeter-wave radar and technology both domestically and internationally. The book is divided into five chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview, reviewing the history of millimeter-wave radar development and its status in China, Chapter 2 discusses the principles of millimeter-wave radar, Chapter 3 introduces performance calculations for millimeter-wave radar design, Chapter 4 lists numerous applications of millimeter-wave radar, and Chapter 5 explores millimeter-wave phased array radar. This book focuses on fundamental concepts, basic analytical methods, and engineering applications, with discussions aimed at being both in-depth and accessible. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in the fields of microwave and millimeter-wave information and communication engineering and related disciplines, as well as a reference for a broad range of technicians and command personnel engaged in communications, radar, electronic warfare, navigation, and remote sensing.
