- Describe Matlab, MathCad, System View, and other software simulation demonstrations for the analysis and solution of radar problems (not required to use these programs)
About this course:
This course examines theoretical, design, and practical aspects of current radar systems design, as well as radar applications. Instruction includes discussions of radar signal spectral analysis, statistical detection theory, antenna design, receivers, transmitters, waveform design, and information extraction from processed signals. The course covers a wide variety of commercial and government radar applications, including space-based, police, weather, altimeter, air traffic control, and search-and-rescue radar. Military radar applications, including multiple target detection and tracking, air combat acquisition, early warning and control, and missile guidance, are also reviewed. Additionally, the course investigates synthetic array radar (SAR) techniques. The course includes Matlab, MathCad, System View, and other software simulation demonstrations for the analysis and solution of radar problems, but students are not required to use these programs.
