Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles is a comprehensive and modern textbook for courses in radar systems and technology at the college senior and graduate student level; a professional training textbook for formal in-house courses for new hires; a reference for ongoing study following a radar short course; and a self-study and professional reference book. Principles of Modern Radar focuses on four key areas: Basic concepts, such as the the radar range equation and threshold detection Radar signal phenomenology, such as radar cross section models, clutter, atmospheric effects, and Doppler effects Descriptions of all major subsystems of modern radars, such as the antenna, transmitter, receiver, including modern architectural elements such as exciters, and advanced signal processors Signal and data processing basics, from digital signal processing (DSP) fundamentals, through detection, Doppler processing, waveforms and pulse compression, basic imaging concepts, and tracking fundamentals. While several established books address introductory radar systems, Principles of Modern Radar differs from these in its breadth of coverage, its emphasis on current methods (without losing sight of bedrock principles), and its adoption of an appropriate level of quantitative rigor for the intended audience of students and new professional hires. The manuscript for this book was reviewed by over 50 professionals in academia, military, and commercial enterprises. These reviewers were among thousands of potential users approached by the publisher and asked to share their expertise and experience in radar training and instruction. Their extensive comments, corrections, and insights ensure that Principles of Modern Radar will meet the needs of modern radar educators and students around the world. Written and edited by world-renowned radar instructors and critically reviewed by users before publication, this is truly a radar community-driven book. Review: Great read. Easily understandable. - After graduating with an BS in EE from Va-Tech, I managed to land a job involving radars. Coming in fresh, I decided to learn more about the subject at hand by investing some of my personal time on a book. I ran across this book after reading a fair amount of reviews. This particular book contains a lot of information involving radar operations. It seems some great minds went into creating this exceptional book - all of them from GTRI. Even with an undergraduate level of understanding, I am able to pick up on all of the material covered. I haven't picked up any other material involving antenna theory or RF theory either. The only downside to the book seems to be that there isn't any information involving most of the common scan types. It would have been great if I could've learned about Raster scans or Sector scans, for instance, without having to look elsewhere. Even so, I've managed to learn a great deal without starting a library yet and as such, I give this book five stars. Review: Exactly What it Says on the Tin - This is a first look at the concepts and theory of operation of modern radar systems. I got this book to supplement some of the classics by Skolnik, Barton, Blake, et. al., mostly because many of these, though still valuable in their own right, were written before modern techniques based on current hardware became prevalent. You will find all the basic concepts discussed here, though not at enough length to really design or build anything. Radar is a very extensive field, and the references listed at the end of each chapter provide plenty of additional understanding. There are entire books devoted to antenna design, transmitter architecture, receiver design, signal processing, clutter, arrays, etc. The level of mathematical rigor should be comprehensible to anyone with a technical, scientific, or engineering background. No single radar book has all the answers, but this is a good place to start.

Exactly What it Says on the Tin
This is a first look at the concepts and theory of operation of modern radar systems. I got this book to supplement some of the classics by Skolnik, Barton, Blake, et. al., mostly because many of these, though still valuable in their own right, were written before modern techniques based on current hardware became prevalent.

RADAR basics
I have not finished reading this book, but so far of what I have read, it is excellent for someone new to the topic. For me, there appears to be sufficient technical rigor to be useful for engineering analysis. The book is very up to date with its graphics and topics discussed, without necessarily ignoring legacy topics. This text is probably not completely ideal for someone well versed in the topic, but might make a good "all 'rounder" type of reference. Deeper topics are covered in other textbooks of this nature.

A great intro to the field
An excellent introduction to fundamentals of radar and radar systems engineering. Each chapter is clearly written by an expert in the particular subject subject being discussed. Each chapter concludes with additional references and problems for the reader. The problems are a nice tool to test and extend the reader's understanding of the material. This is definitely the best radar textbook on the market today.

This book provide a comprehensive overview that provide the system perspective for the Radar System Engineer. It has a lot of references , therefore if have to into the depth you can find the material. I still believe that Skolnik book should also be used along with this and Mahafiza Radar book that is matlab based is also a very good supplement.

Terrible Quality
The spine if the book ripped away from the cover of the book the very first time I opened it. I would like to get a replacement, but I need a physical book for an upcoming exam and am unable to return it if I don’t have a replacement.

Super
Das Buch beinhaltet zwar eine Menge Formeln, aber es werden die Grundlagen sehr schön und verständlich erklärt. Das Buch fängt bei Null an und das macht es gerade so gut. Alle Aspekte des modernen Radars werden erklärt...vom Doppler bis zur Radarpistole. Der Umfang sprengt alles und beantwortet alle gängigen Fragen.

and the papers itself looks it exposed to moisture I am not satisfy with this book The contents is perfect
The book is not clean fom outer side, looks as it's used before, and the papers itself looks it exposed to moisture I am not satisfy with this book The contents is perfect , but the papers and covers not.
