Radar Systems, Peak Detection and Tracking
As well as being fully up-to-date, this book provides wider subject coverage than many other radar books. The inclusion of a chapter on Skywave Radar, and full consideration of HF/OTH issues makes this book especially relevant for communications engineers and the defense sector: Explains key theory...
