This new handbook on radar signal analysis adopts a deliberate and systematic approach. It uses a clear and consistent level of delivery while maintaining strong and easy-to-follow mathematical details. The emphasis of this book is on radar signal types and their relevant signal processing and not on radar systems hardware or components.

This handbook serves as a valuable reference to a wide range of audience. More specifically, college-level students, practicing radar engineers, as well as casual readers of the subject are the intended target audience of the first few chapters of this book. As the book chapters progress, these grow in complexity and specificity. Accordingly, later chapters are intended for practicing engineers, graduate college students, and advanced readers. Finally, the last few chapters contain several special topics on radar systems that are both educational and scientifically entertaining to all readers.

The presentation of topics in this handbook takes the reader on a scientific journey whose major landmarks comprise the different radar subsystems and components. In this context, the chapters follow the radar signal along this journey from its birth to the end of its life. Along the way, the different relevant radar subsystems are analyzed and discussed in great detail.

The chapter contributors of this new handbook comprise experienced academia members and practicing radar engineers. Their combined years of academic and real-world experiences are in excess of 175. Together, they bring a unique, easy-to-follow mix of mathematical and practical presentations of the topics discussed in this book. See the "Chapter Contributors" section to learn more about these individuals.

Chapter 1 Signals and Systems-Refresher

Bassem R. Mahafza

In this chapter a top-level overview of signal theory relevant to radar signal processing is presented. The material in this chapter is not intended to serve as a course on signal design and analysis. It presents a quick refresher to many of the relevant concepts of signal analysis in order to facilitate better understanding of radar systems. Generally speaking, most electrical systems deal with complicated time domain and / or frequency domain signals (or waveforms); to this end, radar systems are no exception. Understanding the time and frequency domains characteristics of radar signals is key to understanding how radar systems operate. In this book, the terms “signal” and “waveform” will be used interchange...
