Based on the classic Radar Range-Performance Analysis from 1980, this practical volume extends that work to ensure applicability of radar equations to the design and analysis of modern radars. This unique book helps engineers identify what information on the radar and its environment is needed to predict detection range. Moreover, it provides equations and data to improve the accuracy of range calculations. Professionals finds detailed information on propagation effects and methods of range calculation in environments that include clutter, jamming, and thermal noise, as well as loss factors that reduce radar performance. This invaluable book is supported with nearly 200 illustrations and over 430 equations.DVD Included! Contains time-saving Mathcad® equations and analysis tools that can be readily applied to specific projects in the field.Contents Overview:Development of the Radar Equation.Radar Equations for Clutter and Jamming.Beamshape Loss.Atmospheric Effects.Clutter and Signal Processing.The Search Radar Equation.Detection Theory.System Noise Temperature.Pattern-Propagation Factor.Loss Factors in the Radar Equation.
