------------------Description-------------------- An introduction to radar systems should ideally be self-contained and hands-on, a combination lacking in most radar texts. The first edition of Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB® provided such an approach, and the second edition continues in the same vein. This edition has been updated, expanded, and reorganized to include advances in the field and to be more logical in sequence. Ideal for graduate study in radar system fundamentals and design or for professional reference, and featuring an abundance of MATLAB programs and code, Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB®, Second Edition presents the fundamentals and principles of radar along with enough rigorous mathematical derivations to ensure that you gain a deep understanding. The author has extensively revised chapters on radar cross-section and polarization, matched filter and radar ambiguity function, and radar wave propagation. He also added information on topics such as PRN codes, multipath and refraction, clutter and MTI processing, and high range resolution. With all MATLAB functions updated to reflect version 7.0 and an expanded set of end-of-chapter problems, you will find this up-to-date text to be the most complete treatment of radar available, providing the hands-on tools that will enrich your learning. ---------------------Features--------------------- · Offers a self-contained treatment of radar systems, requiring only a background in
