5.0 out of 5 stars
Connected to Current Defense Applications,
By Ken Daniel (McLean, VA USA McLean, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microwave Radar: Imaging and Advanced Processing (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
This is a comprehensive look at imaging radar, by a professional who has developed and deployed SAR systems. Good source book with state of the art references on such subjects as ISAR and STAP (clutter reduction) processing. Much of the last third of the book on specialized topics is derived from government-funded radar (SAR, GMTI, and SAIP target recognition ) research, such as the Global Hawk UAV SAR. Thus, as a sourcebook for working engineers in the defense reconnaissance community it is more practical than a standard academic textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent radar book!,
By Dan R. Sheen (Glendale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microwave Radar: Imaging and Advanced Processing (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
This book is extremely well written and very useful. It introduces radar concepts and explains them in enough detail to understand the underlying physics. Mathematical derivations are accompanied by good illustrations and excellent verbal descriptions and are easy for anyone with a technical background to understand. The material is logically presented and can be used to do radar design work, trade studies, simulations, or estimates of performance. It is a very good reference book for someone who already understands radar, as well as an excellent textbook for someone just learning about modern radars.

A Comprehensive Radar Text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microwave Radar: Imaging and Advanced Processing (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
Microwave Radar by Roger Sullivan is a very comprehensive text that covers a breadth of topics from the basic through current research trends. The coverage of many important radar topics separates this book from all others, including the classic Introduction to Radar Systems by Skolnik. These topics include imaging radar; target recognition; medium / high PRF pulse Doppler radar (including multiple PRF waveforms and the use of the Chinese Remainder Theorem); space-time adaptive processing; and bistatic radar. I would recommend this text for the new radar student as well as the practicing engineer.
