Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB Fourth Edition

The original edition of this groundbreaking and widely utilized guide introduced a comprehensive textbook on radar systems analysis and design, providing practical experience supported by its companion MATLAB® software. The guide quickly became a bestseller. Drawing from the author’s personal teaching expertise and techniques provided by various users, the 4th edition embraces a fresh approach.

The presentation in this edition guides the reader through a systematic journey featuring the different radar subsystems and components. Throughout the exploration, the various relevant radar subunits are scrutinized and discussed in great detail. Understanding the radar waveform types and their associated radar signal processing techniques are pivotal in comprehending the operational mechanisms of radar systems.

Each section furnishes the necessary mathematical and analytical coverage essential for a solid grasp of radar theory. Moreover, dedicated MATLAB® functions enhance the comprehension of the theory and establish a methodology to execute radar system analysis and design trade-offs.

The software provides users with diverse kinds of visual outputs. Additionally, a complete set of MATLAB® code generating all plots and graphs found within the pages of this textbook is also available. All associated MATLAB® code can be downloaded from the book’s website.

The 4th Edition:

• Exploits the new features presented by MATLAB® 2021 release
• Updates the text to a current state-of-the-art
• Integrates many of the feedback received from users employing this guide as a reference and from practicing engineers; as a result, several chapters have been rewritten
• Introduces unique problems not found in other texts
• Maintains a thorough and exhaustive presentation
• Reorganizes the presentation to be more conducive for course implementation
• Supplies a post-course reference for engineering students transitioning into the field
• Provides a companion solutions manual for instructors

The 4th edition will serve as an invaluable tool for students and radar engineers, helping them better analyze and comprehend the various aspects of radar systems. This guide is primarily designed as a graduate-level textbook, although certain sections may be employed for senior level courses. A companion solutions manual has been devised for use by instructors.
