Radar Principles

By Nadav Levanon and Levanon

An advanced treatment of the main concepts of radar. Systematic andorganized, it nicely balances readability with mathematical rigor.Many techniques and examples have been chosen from the radarindustry (Rayleigh fluctuating targets are used as they yieldsimple expressions for the probability of detection), and othersfor their pedagogical value (Costas signals lead the coded radarsignals because their ambiguity function can be intuitivelydeduced). Ordered statistics is covered in more depth than otherCFAR techniques because its performance can be obtainedanalytically without resorting to simulation methods. Contains manyexercises. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available from the Wiley editorialdepartment.

Customer Reviews

An outstanding radar textbook on the academic level

This is an excellent radar textbook for advanced students on the academic level. The distiction is necessary, because older textbooks by Barton, Skolnik and Nathansson were mostly designed for radar engineers. Modern students have a better mathematical background than previous generations and this is used to advantage in Levanon's text. The author uses every opportunity to present his results in a general and easy-to-read form. The examples are excellent and often based on the author's own research experience.
