In the tradition of the previous three conferences, the proceedings of the 4th Ultra-Wideband Short-Pulse Electromagnetics Conference explores topics including pulse generation and detection; broadband electronic systems; antennas - theory, design, experiments and systems; pulse propagation; scattering theory; signal processing; and buried targets - detection and identification.

Product Description: The rapid development of electronics and its engineering applications ensures that new topics are always competing for a place in university and polytechnic courses. But it is often difficult for lecturers to find suitable books for recom­ mendation to students, particularly when a topic is covered by a short lecture module, or as an 'option'...read more

Product Description: Become an Expert Small-Craft Radar Operator Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and it is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else or what else is out there with you...read more

Imagine the ideal radar book. What criteria define it?Provides a detailed useful reference for working engineers and can serve as an advanced graduate textbookStands on its own as a complete presentation of the subjectIncludes examples and exercise problemsHelps readers move beyond the theory into the real world of radar design and analysisRadar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB does all this and more. Based on the philosophy that radar systems should not be difficult to understand or complicated to analyze and design, it focuses on radar fundamentals, principles, and rigorous but easy-to-follow derivations. Each chapter provides all the necessary mathematical and analytical coverage needed for understanding radar theory.Among this book's most outstanding features is the integration of Matlab 5.0 functions and programs within each chapter to further enhance understanding of the theory and provide a source for establishing radar system design requirements. All of these functions and programs can be downloaded from the CRC Web site - saving users more than $1,000 in acquiring similar software.All of this plus nearly 1,300 equations, almost 300 illustrations, more than 200 examples and end-of-chapter problems, and six appendices means that Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB meets all the criteria. Your search for the ideal resource for radar engineering is over.

Product Description: Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing simply and methodically presents principles and techniques of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image generation by analyzing its system transfer function. It considers the full array of operation modes from strip to scan and emphasizes processing techniques, thus enabling the design of operational SAR codes...read more

Due to its extensive applications in stealth technology, much of the research effort in radar absorbing materials (RAM) has remained classified. As is the wont with classified topics, it has resulted in much awe and unfounded speculation. The aim of this book is to demystify this topic. The book in hand is concise but complete in itself. The attention of the readers is first drawn towards the historical evolution of RAM to emphasize that the elementary principles of electromagnetics lead to the fundamental concepts of RAM. These also form the basis for further mathematical analysis and design of RAM. The performance plots for the various RAM designs, to the extent possible, are taken with respect to power reflection; this should facilitate comparison of their relative performances. In order to further induce the reader to take the first step towards RAM design, we have included the relevant computer codes in a companion diskette. This would enable the reader to try out elementary designs on his own. * .EXE files should facilitate ready execution of codes on most DOS based computing platforms. The corresponding source codes with comments are also included as * .FOR files. The reader may wish to modify some of these codes for examining RAM design algorithms further. We welcome comments from the reader on these codes.

Product Description: Radar, like most well developed areas, has its own vocabulary. Words like Doppler frequency, pulse compression, mismatched filter, carrier frequency, in-phase, and quadrature have specific meaning to the radar engineer. In fact, the word radar is actually an acronym for RAdio Detection And Rang­ ing...read more

This one-of-a-kind book features 536 illustrations that offer a greater understanding of various waveforms, and other two- and three-dimensional functions, to help engineers more accurately analyze radar system performance. The effects of pulse shaping on transmitter stability and spectra are discussed - a topic which is becoming more and more important to professionals in the field today. Each chapter ends with a performance section which shows the effect of that particular aspect on the complete radar system budget for range, accuracy and stability.
