Modern radar: Theory, operation and maintenance /2nd edition/
Abstract
A compendium on radar systems and theory is presented. The development of the magnetron and the klystron is reviewed along with the methods used to solve the original radar problems. The early display devices are surveyed with a view to their ongoing evolution. The pulse, Doppler, CW, and pulse-Doppler radar systems are detailed. Target reflectivity, pulse calculations, Doppler clutter, signal processing, and bandwidth are discussed. The uses and basic components are examined of the radar systems utilized in military, intruder detection, avionics, aerospace, police, satellite, and guided missile applications. A coverage of radar frequency components, tracking systems, aircraft signatures, and receivers is provided.
