Preface
Numerous books have been written on Radar Systems and Radar Applica-
tions. A limited set of these books provides companion software. There is
need for a comprehensive reference book that can provide the reader with
hands-on-like experience. The ideal radar book, in my opinion, should serve as
a conclusive, detailed, and useful reference for working engineers as well as a
textbook for students learning radar systems analysis and design. This book
must assume few prerequisites and must stand on its own as a complete presen-
tation of the subject. Examples and exercise problems must be included. User
friendly software that demonstrates the theory needs to be included. This soft-
ware should be reconfigurable to allow different users to vary the inputs in
order to better analyze their relevant and unique requirements, and enhance
understanding of the subject.
Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB
®
concentrates on radar
fundamentals, principles, and rigorous mathematical derivations. It also pro-
vides the user with a comprehensive set of MATLAB
1
5.0 software that can be
used for radar analysis and/or radar system design. All programs will accept
user inputs or execute using the default set of parameters. This book will serve
as a valuable reference to students and radar engineers in analyzing and under-
standing the many issues associated with radar systems analysis and design. It
is written at the graduate level. Each chapter provides all the necessary mathe-
matical and analytical coverage required for good understanding of radar the-
ory. Additionally, dedicated MATLAB functions/programs have been
developed for each chapter to further enhance the understanding of the theory,
and provide a source for establishing radar system design requirements. This
book includes over 1190 equations and over 230 illustrations and plots. There
are over 200 examples and end-of-chapter problems. A solutions manual will
be made available to professors using the book as a text. The philosophy
behind Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB is that radar sys-
tems should not be complicated to understand nor difficult to analyze and
design.
All MATLAB programs and functions provided in this book can be down-
loaded from the CRC Press Web site (www.crcpress.com). For this purpose,
create the following directory in your C-drive: C:\RSA. Copy all programs into
this directory. The path tree should be as in Fig. F.1 in Appendix F. Users can
execute a certain function/program GUI by typing: file_name_driver, where

MATLAB 5.0 - R11 with the Signal Processing Toolbox, on a PC with Windows 98
operating system.
