The Second Edition of Radar Principles for the Non-Specialist provides a solid understanding of radar fundamentals and applications, but requires far less mathematical and technical sophistication than engineering books written for specialists. The book moves step-by-step from electromagnetic propagation principles up to some of the most recent radar systems deployed by the Defense Department, the FAA, commercial airlines, the National Space Agency, police agencies, and ships at sea.

It includes concise - yet complete - explanations of antennas, detection and tracking, radar cross-section, waveforms and signal processing, electronic countermeasures, and system applications.

The technical level of this volume is that of an engineer or scientist with at least basic calculus proficiency but ideally with the addition of integral calculus. Motivated readers with little or no calculus background could follow most of the narrative.

* Concise, self-contained, stand-alone chapters for quick and easy comprehension of each topic. If they wish, readers can zoom right to a topic of particular interest without reading preceding chapters. * Consistent format and use of methods of derivation, mathematics, and conceptual approach to all antennas and waveforms. * Full coverage of recent radar developments and current hot topics. * Includes topics of wide current interest, such as electronic counter-measures, jamming and anti-jamming, phased array, pulse-doppler, synthetic aperture, laser radars, digital signal processing and computer control, earth-to-air and airborne radar, Kalman filtering, and recent military applications. * The practical Glossary enables readers to look up and apply key radar terms. Several appendices provide quick look-up of essential data, tables, and formulae.
