Thiscomprehensive resource provides readers with the tools necessary to performanalysis of various waveforms for use in radar systems. It provides informationabout how to produce synthetic aperture (SAR) images by giving a tomographicformulation and implementation for SAR imaging. Tracking filter fundamentals,and each parameter associated with the filter and how each affects trackingperformance are also presented. Various radar cross section measurementtechniques are covered, along with waveform selection analysis through thestudy of the ambiguity function for each particular waveform from simple linearfrequency modulation (LFM) waveforms to more complicated coded waveforms.The textincludes the Python tool suite, which allows the reader to analyze and predictradar performance for various scenarios and applications. Also provided areMATLAB® scripts corresponding to the Python tools. The software includes auser-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) that provides visualizations ofthe concepts being covered. Users have full access to both the Python andMATLAB source code to modify for their application. With examples using thetool suite are given at the end of each chapter, this text gives readers aclear understanding of how important target scattering is in areas of targetdetection, target tracking, pulse integration, and target discrimination.
