This book is intended to serve as a text for courses that provide a students first exposure to radar principles. It covers the broad concepts that underlie basic principles of operation for most existing radar systems and maintains a good level of mathematical rigorsuitable to convince readers without being so dense as to cause them to lose interest. The book provides an extensive exposition of techniques currently used for radar system design, analysis, and evaluation. To this end, it presents a comprehensive set of radar principles, including all features of modern radar applications with their underlying derivation, using the simplest mathematics possible.
