Radar and Laser Cross Section Engineering (AIAA Education Series)

Radar and Laser Cross Section Engineering, Third Edition reflects recent developments that have found applications in both the military and civilian sectors. These developments have been fueled by growth in computer technology, signal processing techniques, and new materials that have interesting and unusual electric and magnetic behavior. Many concepts conceived decades ago have finally become a reality. In addition to new discussions in developing technical areas, more homework problems and examples have been added to this new edition. It is assumed that the reader has mastered electromagnetics at an undergraduate level. Completion of a course in antennas also is a helpful prerequisite to this book, although students without an antenna background have successfully mastered the material presented.
