Description
This reference/textbook for working engineers and students integrates MATLAB 5.0 with coverage of the fundamentals and issues in radar analysis and system design. Chapters replete with equations, illustrations, and examples address such topics as radar detection, waveforms analysis, antennas, and signal processing. Rather than including the software on CD-ROM for working the chapter-end problems, relevant functions and programs are downloadable from a companion Web site. Appends details on noise figures and decibel arithmetic; transform tables; common probability densities; and a MATLAB program and function name list. Mahafza is with the COLSA Corp., Huntsville, AL.

Imagine the ideal radar book. What criteria define it?Provides a detailed useful reference for working engineers and can serve as an advanced graduate textbookStands on its own as a complete presentation of the subjectIncludes examples and exercise problemsHelps readers move beyond the theory into the real world of radar design and analysisRadar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB does all this and more. Based on the philosophy that radar systems should not be difficult to understand or complicated to analyze and design, it focuses on radar fundamentals, principles, and rigorous but easy-to-follow derivations. Each chapter provides all the necessary mathematical and analytical coverage needed for understanding radar theory.Among this book's most outstanding features is the integration of Matlab 5.0 functions and programs within each chapter to further enhance understanding of the theory and provide a source for establishing radar system design requirements. All of these functions and programs can be downloaded from the CRC Web site - saving users more than $1,000 in acquiring similar software.All of this plus nearly 1,300 equations, almost 300 illustrations, more than 200 examples and end-of-chapter problems, and six appendices means that Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB meets all the criteria. Your search for the ideal resource for radar engineering is over.
