MATLAB Simulations for Radar Systems Design

MATLAB Simulations for Radar Systems Design is a complete source for learning radar design and analysis that also provides MATLAB M-files and hands-on simulation experience. Readers will gain a strong understanding of radar operations and design philosophy, know how to select parameters to meet design requirements, be able to perform trade-off analyses, and learn how to develop loss and error budgets. The authors' unique approach involves following a single case study throughout the text. They also present a section of specialized radar topics important to a full understanding of the subject. A comprehensive set of MATLAB files supports the book. These files are available for download from the CRC Press Web site.
