| Summary |
"This book is a concise yet complete treatment of the relationship between mission-level requirements and specific hardware and software requirements and capabilities. Although focusing on surface-based radars, the material is general enough to serve as a useful addition to books currently available for this purpose. It covers all phases of design and development, including the development of initial concepts and overall system requirements, system architecture, hardware and software subsystem requirements, detailed algorithms and system integration and test. This book provides a wealth of information rarely covered in one book. It is unique in that it provides a "hands on" and "how to" perspective on applying radar theory to design and analysis. Rather than being a theory and derivations-type, this book is applications-oriented, making it different from other published works on this subject."--Jacket |
