Book Description
Presents the basic principles
of pulse-doppler radar without resorting to a heavily mathematical
treatment. High-, medium-, and low-pulse repetition frequency (PRF)
modes are explained and the advantages and disadvantages of each are
discussed.
Also included are an explanation of the major signal-processing functions
of doppler filtering, pulse compression, tracking, synthetic aperture,
selection of medium PRFs, and resolving range ambiguities and a discussion
of how to predict the performance of a pulse-doppler radar in the
presence of noise and clutter.
This second edition covers radar technologies developed since 1987
-- plus those likely to appear in the next five years. It provides
insight into specific issues unique to airborne systems, and contains
extensive treatment of the medium-Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)
waveform for more accurate performance analysis.
The book also includes updates on new technologies in phased array
radar, synthetic aperture, high-range resolution pulse compression,
and doppler processing as well as a new software code for demonstrating
medium-PRF blind-zone and clutter-map calculation.
