Although the fundamentals of radar have changed little since the publication of the first edition, there has been continual development of new radar capabilities and continual improvements to the technology and practice of radar. This growth has necessitated extensive revisions and the introduction of topics not found in the original, including MTI radar, ADT and electronically steered phased-array antenna.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good intro book for radar engineering,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Radar Systems (Hardcover)
This third edition is much more readable than the second edition. A vast improvement in the breadth of topics, and also the depth of topics over the second edition. A good introduction to radars and how they work. For the die-hard technical person, however, the Radar Handbook (also by Skolnik) is still king. This book does not get into the detail of the Radar Handbook. However, someone just learning radar would find the extreme detail of the Radar Handbook too confusing. This book is a good starting place. Even if you own the second edition, you might want to upgrade to this one - the format and topics have improved that much.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Best available introduction to the subject.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Radar Systems (Hardcover)
An excellent, thorough, straightforward introduction to radar technology. A little dated, however. Written on the level of an introductory graduate text. Essential for professionals new to the field and useful as a refresher for veteran radar engineers. Outclasses the competition.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great primer,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Radar Systems (Hardcover)
These comments are ref. to the second edition. Simply a great primer for a new Design Engineer. Explains clearly the basic prinicipals and equations used in Radar technology. If you get to know the stuff explained in this book, you will not have any difficulty about the terms used by the Radar gurus, such as Radar Cross-Section, Radar equations, radar signal returns, received power, fluctuations in Radar Cross-section, S/N ratio of the received signals etc. Virtually everyone that works in a Radar industry would have read at least some sections in this book.
