Description
This text provides the reader with the knowledge necessary to perform effective computer simulation of scattering for the real targets and conditions of radio wave propagation. By replacing field tests with the computer simulation methods presented in this resource, time and money is saved in the early stages of research and development. Supplemented with 283 equations and 121 illustrations, the book provides practical guidance in: estimating the effect of various signatures of new radar with target recognition; evaluating and comparing the effectiveness and complexity of recognition algorithms before they are actually introduced into radar; formulating requirements to radar subsystems and evaluating their tolerances; and predicting future radar performance.
