New Methodologies For Understanding Radar Data

Radar signals are one of the most challenging signals to process, because of the extreme signal to noise ratio and the dynamic range of the signals. This book gives readers an analysis of the various tools available to help better understand radar data, including coverage of new machine learning and statistical methods.

It is also intended as a reference text for electrical engineering graduate students and researchers specializing in signal processing and radars.

With their images practically ubiquitious in the daily media, weather radar systems provide data not only for understanding weather systems and improving forecasts (especially critical for severe weather), but also for hydrological applications, flood warnings and climate research in which ground verification is needed for global precipitation measurements by satellites. This book offers an accessible overview of advanced methods, applications and modern research from the European perspective. An extensive introductory chapter summarizes the principles of weather radars and discusses the potential of modern radar systems, including Doppler and polarisation techniques, data processing, and error-correction methods. Addressing both specialist researchers and nonspecialists from related areas, this book will also be useful for graduate students planning to specialize in this field

Novel deep learning approaches are achieving state-of-the-art accuracy in the area of radar target recognition, enabling applications beyond the scope of human-level performance. This book provides an introduction to the unique aspects of machine learning for radar signal processing that any scientist or engineer seeking to apply these technologies ought to be aware of.

What is radar? What systems are currently in use? How do they work? Understanding Radar Systems provides engineers and scientists with answers to these critical questions, focusing on actual radar systems in use today. It's the perfect resource for those just entering the field or a quick refresher for experienced practitioners. The book leads readers through the specialized language and calculations that comprise the complex world of modern radar engineering as seen in dozens of state-of-the-art radar systems. The authors stress practical concepts that apply to all radar, keeping math to a minimum. Most of the book is based on real radar systems rather than theoretical studies. The result is a valuable, easy-to-use guide that makes the difficult parts of the field easier and helps readers do performance calculations quickly and easily.

This is a comprehensive book about modern radar techniques, describing systems and methods at the college and graduate student level. It covers radar principles, radar technology and the application of that technology. This book starts with Radar Cross Section (RCS) simulation and radar frequency synthesisers, describes a manipulation of RCS with plasma, and develops a millimetre wave frequency synthesiser for radar systems. Next, multi-pulse performance evaluation of adaptive detection of fluctuation radar targets and a C-band radar over an urban area are introduced, followed by the interpolation of the radial velocity data from coastal HF radars. At the finish, three-dimensional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mechanisms and imaging is introduced, followed by GPU-based SAR raw data simulation for a complex three-dimensional scene. This book will be of practical use to engineers, technicians, planners, specifiers, and managers who work with radar systems and with systems containing radars and radar technology.
