Radar: Principles, Technology, Applications
KEY BENEFIT: From fundamentals to functional descriptions to details of the subsystems, the material in this book is presented is such a manner that both professionals and novices can use it to learn the principles and techniques of radar. It provides a breadth of coverage not readily found elsewhere, including functional descriptions of most types of radars in use today, discussions of many specific modern radar techniques, and modern signal processing principles, such as high resolution radar, pulse compression and synthetic aperture radar. This volume will be of practical use to engineers, technicians, planners, specifiers, and managers who work with radar systems and with systems containing radars and radar technology…. More >>

Tagged with: Applications • Principles • Radar • Technology
A good book to explain the Radar to people with singal process / electronics background. From searching radar/tracking radar to modern weather applications etc. It also introduces many good DSP applications in RADAR technology, and also good in communication field.
This book is admirably suited to either a one-semester or two-semester course in radar principles and design. More than that, it contains a good deal of information that’s useful even to those of us who have designed and worked with radars for many years.
The common faults of written material on radar are either to focus too narrowly on one aspect of the topic, or to omit material on the assumption that it must be classified when in fact it is not. Edde’s book avoids both pitfalls. He gives thorough, comprehensive information on all sorts of radars, past and present, designed for various uses, and leaves the conscientious reader prepared to think clearly about where to start when confronted with a request for something new and different.
Suppose you were asked to sketch out an initial design for a radar whose purpose is to track bird migration on the Atlantic flyway. Where would you start? What criteria would you strive to meet? To what extent could you hope to distinguish between types of migrating birds? What help might you hope to provide for keeping track of individual flocks during migration? What design techniques might be useful? How much of what kind of signal processing would you expect to need?
I don’t know about you, but left to my own devices I could stumble around for quite a while contemplating such questions. To avoid wasting time this way, I would sit down and rapidly skim Edde’s book again, cover to cover, taking notes on what might be useful ideas and starting points.
If you are professionally concerned with radar, you need this book.
