Stimson’s Introduction to Airborne Radar, third edition has been updated to include a higher degree of routine adopting of electronic scanning and high resolution imaging, combined with greater use of digital technology.
All core radar principles are presented, but the confusing jargon and complicated mathematics found in other radar textbooks has been omitted, meaning novice readers can benefit from this book. However there is also sufficient technical depth, mathematical rigor and sound physical understanding of virtually all advanced radar techniques to satisfy the appetite of the more advanced radar enthusiasts.
Two new sections have been added, including six chapters on electronic warfare and seven chapters on special topics and advanced techniques. The addition of modernised real-life practical examples ensures this text is ideal for undergraduate training courses.
All chapters have been completely modernised
All chapters have been revised in line with modern technologies, and the revised edition also includes more than 1,200 full colour visual graphics and SI units.
