Radar Systems
ECE 8710
Course Description
Radar systems are introduced in a framework of electronic systems integration which represents a unification of engineering theory and practice. A comprehensive set of radar principles are presented which form a foundation for the radar range equator. Systems applications are presented which illustrate the potentials and limitations of radar.
