Radar Signal Analysis and Processing Using MATLAB

Offering radar-related software for the analysis and design of radar waveform and signal processing Radar Signal Analysis and Processing Using MATLABÂ provides a comprehensive source of theoretical and practical information on radar signals signal analysis and radar signal processing with companion MATLABÂ code. After an overview of radar systems operation and design the book reviews elements of signal theory relevant to radar detection and radar signal processing along with random variables and processes. The author then presents the unique characteristic of the matched filter and develops a general formula for the output of the matched filter that is valid for any waveform. He analyzes several analog waveforms including the linear frequency modulation pulse and stepped frequency waveforms as well as unmodulated pulse-train binary polyphase and frequency codes. The book explores radar target detection and pulse integration emphasizing the constant false alarm rate. It also covers the stretch processor the moving target indicator radar Doppler processing beamforming and adaptive array processing. Using configurable MATLAB code this book demonstrates how to apply signal processing to radar applications. It includes many examples and problems to illustrate the practical application of the theory. . Language: English
