Here is a reference source for phase noise effects on systems and components. It analyzes the effects of phase noise on a radar system's performance and on its major subsystems. The sequence of chapters follows the path of phase noise in a radar system from its generation through its transmission, reception, and processing to its final displayed level. The book discusses major radar design areas pertaining to the analysis of phase noise effects on system performance. It includes solved practical...

This re-lease of the classic 1969 text examines step-by-step the development of radar resolution theory. Key topics include the capabilities and limits of radar and the details of radar design.

The phrase 'waveform design and diversity' refers to an area of radar research that focuses on novel transmission strategies as a way to improve performance in a variety of civil, defense and homeland security applications. Three basic principles are at the core of waveform diversity. First is the principle that any and all knowledge of the operational environment should be exploited in system design and operation. Second is the principle of the fully adaptive system, that is, that the system sh...

This book presents the developments and potential applications of Meta-Smith charts, which can be applied to practical and useful transmission line problems (e.g., metamaterial transmission lines and nonreciprocal transmission lines). These problems are beyond the capability of the standard Smith chart to be applied effectively. As any RF engineer is aware, a key property of the Smith chart is the insight it provides, even in very complex design processes. Like the Smith chart, Meta-Smith charts...

Mission to Mars, testing water quality in the lakes of Ireland, and bringing the Internet to remote sub-Saharan villages all have something in common. They are all examples of networking in extreme environments that overwhelm traditional technology and require new communications solutions. Delay and disruption networking (DTN) is an up-and-coming technology that enables networking in extreme environments. This complete reference on DTN covers applications requirements, DTN protocols, and network...

This text/reference provides background for those new to the field, gives numerous problems sets and practical examples, and discusses computer aided design and analysis. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Interest in the applications of ultrawideband (UWB) radar systems is increasing rapidly all over the world. This is evident from the number of monographs recently published on the subject and from the many papers presented at international conferences on the general problems involved in UWB radar and on its promising new applications. Conventional (classical) methods seem to have exhausted their potential and studies in the field are undergoing a profound change. This book presents some of the n...

Aimed at beginners and advanced users alike, this book and CD-ROM package seeks to provide the necessary design toolkit to enable users to send and receive radio signals. The software calculates the critical lengths and other parameters of the antennas in the book by having the user select the antenna type and set the frequency. The main menu screen is in the form of tabs, one for each chapter of the book plus other topics. Also included is a Windows freeware package from the US Government "Voic...

Monopulse is a type of radar that sends additional information in the signal in order to avoid problems caused by rapid changes in signal strength. Monopulse is resistant to jamming which is one of the main reasons it is used in most radar systems today. This updated and expanded edition of an Artech House classic offers engineers a current and comprehensive treatment of monopulse radar principles, techniques, and applications. The second edition features two brand new chapters, covering monopul...

This volume contains papers from three sets of tutorials covering mathematics, the physical aspects of scattering, and engineering modelling and processing of the phenomena under consideration. In addition, a technical report by Calvin Wilcox on synthesis problems for radar ambiguity functions is published here for the first time.

According to a recent study undertaken by the Seattle-based consulting firm, The Joyce Institute, repetitive strain injuries, such as eyestrain from computer-screen glare, and carpal tunnel syndrome, account for one-third of all workers' compensation costs. It seems therefore that anyone who uses a PC or who manages others who use PCs should be concerned with creating a safe and comfortable working environment. This text explains the health risks of PC use and provides practical "how-to" guideli...

This manual presents modern techniques and methods for processing radar signals received by an array of antenna elements. With the recent rapid growth of the technology of hardware for digital signal processing, it is now possible to apply this to radar signals and thus to enlist the full power of sophisticated computational algorithms. Topics covered in detail include super-resolution methods of array signal processing as applied to radar, adaptive beaming forming for radar, and radar imaging....
