Radar signal processing

Covers some of the fundamental features of radar signal processing. Some of the properties of radar signals are examined; since these define some of the main problems which the radar designer faces as he or she attempts to design a radar and associated signal processor. An important aspect of radar is that of waveform design, and understanding the properties and limitations of the waveforms that are used. These waveform properties directly affect the performance of the radar in detection performance and measurement accuracy. The techniques and algorithms that are used in current radar systems are briefly reviewed, highlighting some of those which are likely to be improved by the recent improvements in signal processing technology
