The following book plus over ten paper reprints are provided FREE with your registration: 1. “Aspects of Modern Radar”, Dr. Eli Brookner (Editor), Artech House, Hardcover, 432 pages, 1988, List price: $159. The 1st chapter gives the best easy to read introduction to radar. It covers all aspects of radar: transmitters, receiver, antennas, signal processing, tracking, clutter derivation of radar equation in easy terms and deﬁ nition of dB. The 2nd chapter gives detailed descriptions of different radar systems like: Cobra Dane, Pave Paws, BMEWS, Series 320 3D radar, OTH radars and dome antenna. The book has a catalog giving the detailed parameters for over 200 radars from around the world. The remaining chapters cover AEGIS SPY-1, Hybrid and MMIC circuits, ultra low sidelobe antennas (ULSA), mmw, radar cross section and Doppler weather radars. The material in the book is easy to access and as a result the text serves as a handy reference book.

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output): Where it makes sense; contrary to what is claimed MIMO array radars do not provide 1, 2 or 3 orders of magnitude better resolution and accuracy than conventional array radars; MIMO does not provide better barrage-noise-jammer, repeater-jammer or hot-clutter rejection than conventional array radars; contrary to claims MIMO should not provide better minimum detectable velocity for airborne radars. Sidelobe Cancellers (SLC): The simple single-loop, feed-forward canceller is introduced in easy terms. This is followed by a discussion of the simple single-loop feedback canceller with and without hard limiting. The normalized feedback SLC will also be covered. Presented will be their performance; transient response and cancellation ratio. Next the multiple-loop SLC (MSLC) will be covered. Applied to the MSLC will be the Gram- Schmidt, Givens and Householder orthonormal transformation methods. Systolic array implementations will be given.

Lecture #10. Monday June 13; Fully Adaptive Arrays: The optimum weight for a fully adaptive array is developed using a very simple derivation. Methods for cal- culating this optimum weight are given using the Sample Matrix Inversion (SMI) algorithm, the Applebaum-Howells adaptive feedback loop method, a recursive method, and Gram-Schmidt, Givens and Householder orthonormal transforma- tions developed for the tracking problem and for the MSLC. The use of eigenvector beams and a whitening fi lter will also be developed. It will be shown how the latter reduces the transient response. Methods for obtaining the benefi ts of a fully adaptive array without its high computation and large transient time disadvantages are given.
