Advanced Radar Systems

Catalog description

This course will provide an introduction to radar systems, range equation and radar signal processing techniques as well as the nature of physical observables and propagators, the effects of the propagation medium on sensor performance, the relationship between signals and noise, and the characteristics of critical sensor functions (including detection and tracking). Radar subsystems will be studied, including antennas, transmitters, receivers, and signal processors. This will also feature a project component for students to identify, research and present open problems that are relevant to radar systems.
