Cook Ch.E., Bernfeld M. Radar Signals

Academic Press, 1967. — 531 p.This book is devoted to the development of the basic theory and application of radar signals that are designated as large time-bandwidth or pulse-compression waveforms. This class of signals provides one of the cornerstones for modern radar technology, and yet there has been no single treatment of this subject at an introductory level from which the graduate student and practicing engineer can obtain the understanding and background necessary for participation in this branch of radar system engineering. In writing this book, the authors have attempted to present in a unified manner the theoretical and practical aspects of radar signal processing applications that are contained throughout various sources in the published literature. The authors have felt for some time the need for having this information more readily available. To meet this need for their co-workers at the Sperry Gyroscope Company, they organized and prepared the notes for an after-hours graduate level course covering the theory, application, and design of large time-bandwidth radar signals. This present work is an outgrowth of that activity. We note that, although no examples are specifically designated in the various chapters, problem assignments and examinations could be developed directly from the text material and fitted into the major interests of the students in the course.
