Radar Principles for the Non-Specialist 2nd Edition by J.C. Toomay

The Second Edition of Radar Principles for the Non-Specialist provides a solid understanding of radar fundamentals and applications, but requires far less mathematical and technical sophistication than engineering books written for specialists. The book moves step-by-step from electromagnetic propagation principles up to some of the most recent radar systems deployed by the Defense Department, the FAA, commercial airlines, the National Space Agency, police agencies, and ships at sea. It includes concise - yet complete - explanations of antennas, detection and tracking, radar cross-section, waveforms and signal processing, electronic countermeasures, and system applications. The technical level of this volume is that of an engineer or scientist with at least basic calculus proficiency but ideally with the addition of integral calculus. Motivated readers with little or no calculus background could follow most of the narrative. This book is new and has never been read. It is also from a smoke and pet free home.
