This book is a concise yet complete treatment of the relationship between mission-level requirements and specific hardware and software requirements and capabilities. Although focusing on surface-based radars, the material is general enough to serve as a useful addition to books currently available for this purpose. It covers all phases of design and development, including the development of initial concepts and overall system requirements, system architecture, hardware and software subsystem requirements, detailed algorithms and system integration and test. This book provides a wealth of information rarely covered in one book. It is unique in that it provides a 'hands on' and 'how to' perspective on applying radar theory to design and analysis. Rather than being a theory and derivations-type, this book is applications-oriented making it different from other published works on this subject.This book: reviews the key radar theory fundamentals and key concepts; provides detailed descriptions of major radar functions - search, track and target classification; presents numerous examples including performance-driven radar requirements, mission-driven requirements and performance predictions; gives a rare treatment of resource management and waveform scheduling; presents in-depth coverage of radar data processing algorithms;displays modern radar architectures; and overviews radar reference architectures for modern phased-array radars (more precisely, electronically-steered array (ESA) radars).

Industry Reviews

Tom Jeffrey's experience as systems engineer and architect of a number of modern phased array radars is well complemented by his lucid presentation of associated technologies, techniques, and performance metrics. Anyone interested in multiple-function radars for air and missile defense applications would find this book valuable.
