| Summary |
This introductory book is oriented toward undergraduate seniors and graduate engineers with some prior background in radar, communications, and basic physics. It approaches each topic from a system engineering perspective. The book has eight chapters which discuss: the estimation of radar cross section (RCS), emitter interceptability, infrared (IR) signature with speed, emitter footprints, terrain obscuration and target visibility, ambient spectra, ambient pulse density, detection performance, stealthy antenna design including active electronic scanned antennas (AESA), filter and pulse compression sidelobes, emitter location accuracy, stealthy pulse compression design, and more |
