DESCRIPTION:
Great Introductory Radar Book JB In my opinion, this book offers a great introduction of Radar. It describes in detail the Radar equation: how distance between target & receiver, radar cross section, antenna gains, and path losses affect the received signal strength. The book has an entire chapter devoted to antennas including how to calculate antenna gain, efficieny, and power distribution. In that chapter, Peebles shows how to calculate antenna parameters for both rectangular and circular aperature antennas a. May be not the worst book I have ever used We had this book as reference for our graduate level Radar course. For those who are not a master in radars already, the word "Horrible" would be a close description for this book. I 100% disagree with "dargo2001's" review. This book is far from being useful as an introduction material. The writing style indubitably makes the otherwise not so hard concepts (which I later realized from another book) seam indescribably esoteric.If you are a beginner to Radars, I suggest borrowing . Marco Maffei said Excellent Modern Text on Radar Principles for Electrical Engineers. This is an excellent modern text on Radar Principles for graduate students in Electrical Engineering. I would also recommend buying it jointly with Skolnik's Introduction to Radar Systems. These are companion references for my activities as a Radar Engineer at Thales Alenia Space.
Radar principles is well-organized and pedagogically driven. · elementary concepts · elements of wave propagation · antennas · radar equation · radar cross section · radar signals and networks · pulse compression with radar signals · radar resolution · radar detection · radar measurements-limiting accuracy · range measurement and tracking in radar · frequency (doppler) measurement and tracking · angle measurement and tracking by conical scan · angle measurement and tracking by monopulse · digital signal processing in radar. This book focuses on basic and optimum methods of realizing radar operations, covers modern applications, and provides a detailed, sophisticated mathematical treatment. Peebles, jr., draws on an extensive review of existing radar literature to present a selection of the most fundamental topics. Author peyton z
