This revised and updated edition to the popular Artech House book, "Modern Radar Systems", offers professionals complete and current coverage of the subject, including new material on critical aspects such as accuracy, resolution, and convolution and correlation. The book features more than 540 illustrations that offer a greater understanding of various waveforms, and other two- and three-dimensional functions, to help engineers more accurately analyze radar system performance. The effects of pulse shaping on transmitter stability and spectra are discussed - a topic that is becoming more and more important to today's engineers. Radar practitioners get a number of critical atmospheric models to help them with their challenging work. Each chapter ends with a performance section, showing the effect of that particular aspect on the complete radar system budget for range, accuracy, and stability.

Making use of the inherent helix in the Fourier transform expression, this book illustrates both Fourier transforms and their properties in the round. The author draws on elementary complex algebra to manipulate the transforms, presenting the ideas in such a way as to avoid pages of complicated mathematics. Similarly, abbreviations are not used throughout and the language is kept deliberately clear so that the result is a text that is accessible to a much wider readership. The treatment is extended with the use of sampled data to finite and discrete transforms, the fast Fourier transforms, or FFT, being a special case of a discrete transform. The application of Fourier transforms in statistics is illustrated for the first time using the examples operational research and later radar detection. In addition, a whole chapter on tapering or weighting functions is added for reference. The whole is rounded off by a glossary and examples of diagrams in three dimensions made possible by today’s mathematics programs.
