Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing, 3rd Edition PDF

Abstract:

A complete guide to the full spectrum of fundamental radar signal processing methods—fully updated for the latest advances.

This thoroughly revised resource offers comprehensive coverage of foundational digital signal processing methods for both pulsed and FMCW radar. Developed from the author's extensive academic and professional experience, Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing, Third Edition covers all of the digital signal processing techniques that form the backbone of modern radar systems, revealing the common threads that unify them. The basic tools of linear systems, filtering, sampling, Fourier analysis, and random processes are used throughout to provide a unified tutorial approach. You will get end-of-chapter problems that reinforce and apply salient points as well as an online suite of tutorial MATLAB® demos. Classroom instructors additionally receive a solutions manual and sample MATLAB® class projects.

Coverage includes:

• An introduction to radar systems

• Signal models

• Data acquisition and organization

• Waveforms and pulse compression

• Doppler processing

• Threshold detection and CFAR

• Measurements and tracking

• Synthetic aperture imaging

• Adaptive array processing and STAP
