Detailed closed-loop bandwidth and transient response approach is a subject rarely found in current literature. This innovative resource offers practical explanations of closed-loop radar tracking techniques in range, Doppler and angle tracking. To address analog closed loop trackers, a review of basic control theory and modeling is included. In addition, control theory, radar receivers, signal processors, and circuitry and algorithms necessary to form the signals needed in a tracker are presented. Digital trackers and multiple target tracking are also covered, focusing on g-h and g-h-k filters.

This 2nd edition covers several key radar analysis areas, including the radar range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, waveforms, antennas, active arrays, receivers, signal processors, CFAR and chaff analysis. Analog signal processors and digital signal processors of the types used in modern phased array radars are discussed. Fundamentals of radar analysis including the range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, antennas, receivers, and signal processors for modern radars are also covered. This book addresses details of the radar range and detection probability equations and the tools radar engineers commonly use to perform signal processor and clutter analyses. Packed with details on how to perform radar range equation and detection analyses, RCS modeling, ambiguity function generation, and antenna pattern generation, this book also includes detailed analyses of coherent and non-coherent integration, design and analysis of analog and digital receivers and signal processors, stretch processor implementation, and SAR signal processor implementation. This resource also covers basic STAP implementation and analysis, as well as SLC design and implementation.

This authoritative new resource presents fundamentals of radar analysis including the range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, antennas, receivers, SP, and chaff analysis for modern radars.
