Levanon N., Mozeson E. Radar Signals

Hoboken, New Jersey, U.S.: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2004. — 426 p. — ISBN 0-471-47378-2.This book is devoted to the design and analysis of radar signals. The last comprehensive book dedicated to this subject was written in 1967 (Cook and Bernfeld; see Chapter 1 references). Since then, many journal and conference papers on radar signals have been published, as well as some good book chapters. Furthermore, the incredible progress in digital signal processing removed many of the constraints that squelched new signal ideas. Thus a new book on radar signals seems long overdue, and we believe that this book will fill the void.Preface.
