Publish Date: 2005-03-01
Features: This book is aimed at engineers, technicians, pilots, and non-professionals working in aerospace industry marketing, public relations, and customer support. It is an ideal reading for those interested in this field. The first 21 chapters focus on the basic principles of radar, which are equally applicable to ground and marine radar. The following 15 chapters shift the focus to air-to-air and air-to-ground applications. The last few chapters involve advanced theoretical concepts. All of this content is highly suitable for training and self-study. The advanced technologies covered in this book include:
● Passive and active electronically scanned array (ESA) antennas
● Reducing antenna radar cross-section (RCS)
● Grating and Bragg lobes and their elimination methods
● Multi-frequency operation
● Long-time coherent accumulation operations
● Alarm confirmation detection
● Detection of separated transmit-receive targets
● Spatio-temporal adaptive processing
● Real-time delay beam control
● 3-DSAR imaging
● Advanced waveforms for ESA multi-function expansion
● Advanced methods for mode control
● Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) technology
