First examines fundamental aspects of how such images are formed, their basic characteristics as generated by the imaging process, their statistical properties, the recovery of nearly ideal images from imperfect systems, image analysis tools for scene understanding in single-channel data, and target detection in an overtly military context. Then casts that information into the forms required to handle multi-temporal, multi-frequency, polarimetric, and interferometric data and to explore the enhanced range of information available when such multi-channel data are available. Also cites real examples of applications and forecasts future developments in the technology. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

What is radar? What systems are currently in use? How do they work? Understanding Radar Systems provides engineers and scientists with answers to these critical questions, focusing on actual radar systems in use today. It's the perfect resource for those just entering the field or a quick refresher for experienced practitioners. The book leads readers through the specialized language and calculations that comprise the complex world of modern radar engineering as seen in dozens of state-of-the-art radar systems. The authors stress practical concepts that apply to all radar, keeping math to a minimum. Most of the book is based on real radar systems rather than theoretical studies. The result is a valuable, easy-to-use guide that makes the difficult parts of the field easier and helps readers do performance calculations quickly and easily.
