Radar Essentials

To meet the need for a compendium of radar information essential for design and performance analysis, a book should combine elements of both a radar text and a handbook. Radar Essentials, 2nd Edition: A concise handbook for radar design and performance analysis delivers on this requirement: it contains the radar principles, data, and equations most useful for practicing radar engineers and also material to help those who are not radar experts understand and use the information. The book is comprehensive, and serves as a complete radar reference, yet compact enough to fit on an engineer's desk or travel with them.

Coverage includes basic principles of radar design and analysis, characteristics of the major radar components, key radar equations, and tables and charts with the most-used radar performance data. The reader can go directly to the topic of interest, where references are provided to other helpful sections. It is intended as a reference for radar and aerospace engineers and system analysts and provides a handy desktop source as well as an essential traveling companion.

This second edition of Radar Essentials updates and expands on the material in the first edition and adds discussion of new radar techniques developed since the first edition was published.
