: Enables the system to maximize desired signals while minimizing interference or "nulling" jammers.
by Wulf-Dieter Wirth is a comprehensive guide to modern radar systems that utilize electronic steering and active array antennas. The book focuses on transitioning from mechanical antennas to high-standard multifunction radar systems used in both military and civil applications. Core Technical Chapters
The book is structured into 20 chapters that cover the theoretical and practical aspects of array-based radar: Radar Techniques Using Array Antennas (FEE rada...
: A signal processing technique that uses both spatial (antenna elements) and temporal (pulse series) data to detect weak targets in heavy clutter or interference. Target Audience
: Chapters 8–9 and 13–15 explore target detection with long pulse series, sequential detection, Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for moving target detection. : Enables the system to maximize desired signals
: Advanced algorithms used for the precise location and separation of multiple targets beyond the standard beamwidth limits.
: Allows the radar beam to be pointed in one or more directions rapidly without physical movement by varying the phase and magnitude of individual antenna elements. Core Technical Chapters The book is structured into
: The final chapters cover Inverse SAR (ISAR), target classification, experimental systems like ELRA , MIMO radar, and passive radar. Key Radar Techniques
