Features: Guidance radar is a critical component of weapon systems, responsible for detecting, tracking, and identifying incoming targets, as well as implementing full-process control of intercepting missiles until the destruction of the incoming target. This book starts from the engineering design requirements of guidance radar systems and proposes design methods for guidance radar systems. It discusses key issues such as selecting radar operating modes, determining system composition, analyzing and calculating system performance, and establishing technical specifications for each part of the system. The book also specifically covers precision analysis, overall design, reliability and maintainability design, and system testing technology for guidance radar systems. As application examples, the book introduces the design principles, system composition, operational processes, and key technologies of major subsystems for two typical short-to-medium-range air defense missile weapon systems' guidance radars and long-range air defense missile weapon systems' multi-function phased-array tracking guidance radars. It also discusses solid-state active phased-array technology and the main key technology issues in the development of next-generation air defense missile weapon systems. The book summarizes the author's extensive engineering design experience in guidance radar research, making it highly practical for engineering technicians engaged in this field. It can also serve as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in relevant disciplines at universities.
