About the Book
Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing (FRSP) provides in-depth coverage of fundamental topics in radar signal processing from a digital signal processing perspective. The techniques of linear systems, filtering, sampling, and Fourier analysis techniques and interpretations are used throughout to provide a modern and unified tutorial approach. The coverage includes a full range of the basic signal processing techniques upon which all radar systems rely, including such topics as target and interference models, matched filtering, waveform design, Doppler processing, parameter estimation, and threshold detection and CFAR. In addition, introductions are provided to the advanced topics of synthetic aperture imaging and space-time adaptive array processing.
This book was written to fill a void in the technical literature on radar. That literature offers a number of excellent books on radar systems in general. At the opposite end of the spectrum, a number of quality texts on advanced topics in radar signal processing such as synthetic aperture imaging, space-time adaptive processing, and MIMO radar have appeared in recent years. However, there is a substantial gap between the qualitative systems books and the advanced signal processing books. FRSP seeks to bridge that gap by providing a concise, unified, and modern treatment of the basic radar signal processing techniques upon which these more advanced methods are founded.

About the Author
Dr. Mark Richards is a semi-retired Principal Research Engineer and Adjunct Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has been engaged for over 30 years in radar signal processing research, primarily at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) where he last served as Chief of the Radar Systems Division. His work focused on topics such as millimeter wave target detection and classification, electronic warfare for imaging radars, airborne windshear detection, and embedded extreme-scale ISR applications. Dr. Richards is a Fellow of the IEEE cited “for contributions to radar signal processing education”. He is the editor-in-chief and author of multiple chapters of the text Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles and the sole author of the text Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing. He is the developer and lead instructor of several professional education “short courses” in radar signal processing and synthetic aperture radar.

Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles (POMR:BC) is the perfect “Radar 101” text. Ideal as both a text for newcomers and a reference for practitioners, it covers basic radar concepts and physics, subsystem technologies such as antennas and transmitters, and basic radar signal processing. It provides an excellent foundation for the “Radar 102” level of FRSP.
|
Principles of Modern Radar: Advanced Techniques (POMR:AT) builds on the foundation of POMR: Basic Principles and FRSP to explore advanced methods in waveforms, imaging, and adaptive processing; emerging techniques such as MIMO radar and compressive sensing, and a variety of special topics.
|
Principles of Modern Radar: Applications (POMR:APP) shows how the techniques of the first two POMR volumes and FRSP are put to use in real radars. Radar designs and performance are described for 16 different types of civilian and military radar systems, from simple police speed radars to advanced space-based surveillance systems.

All three volumes are available individually and as a three-volume set from the publisher IET as well as from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other retailers.
