EO4612 Microwave Devices, Propagation, and Radar Systems
The radar range equation is developed in a form including signal integration, the effects of target cross section, fluctuations, and propagation losses. Laboratory sessions deal with basic pulse radar systems from which the advanced techniques have developed. Microwave transmitters, receivers, and components are discussed. Modeling of the propagation environment and the target scattering characteristics are covered. Propagation channels covered include the troposphere, ionosphere and ground waves.
