Description

Radar Fundamentals: range, backscatter, noise, clutter, range equation, RCS. Clutter: backscatter characteristics (sea, land, rain), target detection. RCS: backscatter characteristics, low reflection materials, mission design. CW/FM Radar: doppler, range and frequency resolution, system design. Pulse Radar: pulse width, PRF, resolution, signal spectrum, ambiguities in range/doppler, pulse integration. MTI Radar: non-coherent and coherent detection, matched filter, pulse compression, system design. Imaging Radar: range and cross-range resolution, image formation and characteristics, distributed and point targets, inverse imaging, SAR and ISAR system design, airborne/spaceborne SAR platforms (AIRSAR, Seasat, ERS, Radarsat). Applications: target detection, Earth resources assessment, atmospheric monitoring.
