Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles v .I

"Principles of Modern Radar" (POMR), co-edited by Dr. Mark Richards, Dr. Bill Holm and Mr. Jim Scheer, is a two-volume set providing comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of modern radar technology. The first volume, "Basic Principles", provides a highly accessible introduction to the physical principles, hardware building blocks, and core processing techniques applicable to a broad spectrum of radars. Volume II, "Advanced Radar Techniques and Applications", builds on this foundation to introduce advanced and emerging radar techniques. In addition, Vol. II describes how the basic and advanced methods are integrated to describe a broad range of practical radar systems. Throughout the set, important mathematical models and tools are accompanied by thorough explanations emphasizing unifying themes such as matched filters, coherent integration, and digital implementations. Each chapter is accompanied by a set of problems to aid understanding and retention."POMR" provides a "principles-level" book that emphasizes modern radar technology, processing, and applications.
Examples of the modern topics critical to today's radar engineer found in "POMR" include: coherent receivers and processing; digital IF sampling; digital signal processing; T/R modules for phased array radar; modern digital processor technology; phased array antennas and systems; adaptive antenna beamforming; modern pulse compression waveforms; advanced CFAR methods; synthetic aperture radar (SAR); 3D interferometric SAR; space-time adaptive processing (STAP); Kalman-filter-based target tracking; and, multi-target tracking techniques.
