The First Comprehensive Guide to the Principles, Design Methods, and Applications of Space Based Radar

Turn to Space Based Radar for authoritative information on the latest developments in Space Based Radar (SBR), covering fundamental principles, cutting-edge design methods, and several new applications. This SBR guide focuses on clutter and target data generation from an SBR platform, and on Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) to enhance the target detection and the clutter cancellation capabilities of the radar system.

Designed to save you hours of research time and effort, this one-stop resource explores the full range of SBR topics, including SBR footprint and range foldover phenomenon…Doppler shift that accounts for Earth''s rotation…terrain modeling…STAP algorithms for enhanced target detection…and much more. Packed with over 250 full-color illustrations, Space Based Radar features:

Complete coverage of the technical issues associated with SBR and their impact on system performanceA CD containing all of the book''s illustrations, equations, and samples; plus more than 250 PowerPoint slides for self-study or lectures

Cutting-edge transmitter and receiver waveform design techniques

Optimum design can improve signal direction, interference, and noise suppression across various disciplines that utilize waveforms, including radar, sonar, and communications. Waveform Diversity explains the role of transmitter and receiver waveform design to boost overall performance. Written by experts in the field, this monograph covers joint transmitter receiver design, optimum design methods, constant envelope transmit signals, and sparsity-based receivers. Proven methods for mitigating noise and clutter and maximizing output signal power are included in this practical guide.

Waveform Diversity covers:

Waveform design and matched filteringNew methods for optimum transmitter and receiver designTransmitter threshold energy and energy-bandwidth tradeoffIncreasing transmit power efficiency with constant envelope transmit signalsOptimum waveform design to reduce noise and clutterDiscrete-time waveform designSparsity-based receiver design methods

This book is intended as an introduction to array signal process­ ing, where the principal objectives are to make use of the available multiple sensor information in an efficient manner to detect and possi­ bly estimate the signals and their parameters present in the scene. The advantages of using an array in place of a single receiver have extended its applicability into many fields including radar, sonar, com­ munications, astronomy, seismology and ultrasonics. The primary emphasis here is to focus on the detection problem and the estimation problem from a signal processing viewpoint. Most of the contents are derived from readily available sources in the literature, although a cer­ tain amount of original material has been included. This book can be used both as a graduate textbook and as a reference book for engineers and researchers. The material presented here can be readily understood by readers having a back­ ground in basic probability theory and stochastic processes. A prelim­ inary course in detection and estimation theory, though not essential, may make the reading easy. In fact this book can be used in a one semester course following probability theory and stochastic processes.
