A self-contained approach to DSP techniques and applications in
radar imaging

The processing of radar images, in general, consists of three major
fields: Digital Signal Processing (DSP); antenna and radar
operation; and algorithms used to process the radar images. This
book brings together material from these different areas to allow
readers to gain a thorough understanding of how radar images are
processed.

The book is divided into three main parts and covers:

* DSP principles and signal characteristics in both analog and
digital domains, advanced signal sampling, and interpolation
techniques

* Antenna theory (Maxwell equation, radiation field from dipole, and
linear phased array), radar fundamentals, radar modulation, and
target-detection techniques (continuous wave, pulsed Linear
Frequency Modulation, and stepped Frequency Modulation)

* Properties of radar images, algorithms used for radar image
processing, simulation examples, and results of satellite image
files processed by Range-Doppler and Stolt interpolation algorithms

The book fully utilizes the computing and graphical capability of
MATLAB? to display the signals at various processing stages in 3D
and/or cross-sectional views. Additionally, the text is
complemented with flowcharts and system block diagrams to aid in
readers' comprehension.

Digital Signal Processing Techniques and Applications in Radar
Image Processing serves as an ideal textbook for graduate students
and practicing engineers who wish to gain firsthand experience in
applying DSP principles and technologies to radar imaging.
