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 explores the characteristics of millimeter-wave radar and special issues in its design, with substantial coverage of 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 both 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 related work. 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 fields. 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. 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 disciplines such as microwave and millimeter-wave information and communication engineering, as well as a reference for a broad range of technicians and commanders in fields like communication, radar, electronic warfare, navigation, and remote sensing.
