Course Summary
A three-day course covering the basics of radar, taught in a manner for true
understanding of the fundamentals, even for the complete newcomer. Covered are
electromagnetic waves, frequency bands, the natural phenomena of scattering and
propagation, radar performance calculations and other tools used in radar work,
and a "walk through" the four principal subsystems - the transmitter, the
antenna, the receiver and signal processor, and the control and interface
apparatus - covering in each the underlying principle and componentry. A few
simple exercises reinforce the student's understanding. Both surface based and
airborne radars are addressed.
