Publisher's Synopsis
This state-of-the-art edition of a radar classic brings the reader up-to-date on new developments in clutter measurement and modelling, and features a wealth of new information. Authored by a recognized expert in the field, the book covers everything from basic concepts of radar reflectivity to space-time clutter amplitude and bistatic clutter.;New radar engineers should find this to be a valuable, all-encompassing, well-illustrated survey of radar reflectivity fundamentals. Veteran engineers and systems designers should appreciate the book's new coverage of: effects of frequency agility; spatial averages for terrain; graphs from GIT clutter models; land and sea echo at extremely low grazing angles; compound statistics including the K and the Rayleigh modulated by Wiebull distributions; super sea echo events and sea spikes; bistatic land and sea clutter; and more.
