Radar System Analysis, Design and Simulation

Eyung W. Kang

Whether you are an experienced radar engineer striving to optimize system performance or a graduate student looking to gain a practical understanding of radar system design, this authoritative volume is a smart choice. The book helps you master critical system analysis and design skills, and shows you how to use digital computer simulation to verify that an analysis is correct and that a design is optimal. This comprehensive resource covers a wide range of essential topics, from matrix, vector and linear equations, noise and clutter generation, filters (FIR and IIR), and fast Fourier transforms to ambiguity functions, antennas, target detection, and the Kalman filter to the Monte Carlo method, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processing, and moving target indicators (MTI). Striking the right balance between depth and breadth, the book offers you a solid foundation in all the key topics covered, supporting discussions with detailed examples.
