This revised and updated edition to the popular Artech House book, "Modern Radar Systems", offers professionals complete and current coverage of the subject, including new material on critical aspects such as accuracy, resolution, and convolution and correlation. The book features more than 540 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 that is becoming more and more important to today's engineers. Radar practitioners get a number of critical atmospheric models to help them with their challenging work. Each chapter ends with a performance section, showing the effect of that particular aspect on the complete radar system budget for range, accuracy, and stability.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Written for Radar Engineers,
By G. Chastain "Engineer In Air and Missile Defense" (Huntsville, Al United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Modern Radar Systems 2nd ed. (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
In this case, the two-star score I gave to this text reflects simply my rating from the viewpoint of addressing the needs of those who need a basic or even thorough knowledge of radar theory and application but who are not engineers designing radar systems. It is not to be taken as a rating of the quality of the text.
This text is clearly written for engineers who design radar. It is not written for those who are just beginning to learn about radar nor will it be of value to those who need to understand how radar works and how it is used in different applications such as Air and Missile Defense or others. For example, a systems engineer, software engineering or manager involved in the development of software which must model a radar to some given level of fidelity (e.g. within a command & control system) will not find this useful. It assumes considerable engineering knowledge on the part of the reader. This is not a bad thing because, as I said, it is intended for a particular audience. While loaded with illustrations and equations, many will leave the average reader bewildered as little explanation is given (again, this is due to the targeted audience and not a reflection of the quality of the text). If you are not an advanced engineer who is actually involved in the design of the radar, I do not recommend this text. If you need a basic introduction to radar theory and applications, or a more thorough understanding of radar theory; for example, engineers who develop software that will model a radar and/or process its output, there are other texts that would be of greter value. If you are new to radar, I would consider either of the two following texts: Radar: Principles, Technology, Applications Introduction to Radar Systems Also, look for my Listmania Lists: 'Radar for Those Who Don't Design Radar' and 'Air and Missile Defense Radar'
