Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years, much interest has centred on the application of automatic data processing in radar systems. Modern surveillance systems, having radars as sensors, require rapid and highly accurate data to be subsequently processed for traffic-control or defence purposes. Radar data processing (RDP), performed in a digital computer, provides location, velocity manoeuvre and possible identification of each target of interest with an accuracy greater than that available from a single-look radar report. Furthermore, RDP can enhance the signal-processing function by removing false plots due, for example, to residual clutter.;Today, it is also of practical interest to net several radars, sometimes having complementary characteristics, in order to achieve superior performance. The aim of this text is to provide a comprehensive treatment of RDP theory at a level that will be useful to radar engineers for analysis and design purposes.
