No Advanced Concept
In contrast to the title " advanced concepts ", this is an introductory book. Readers waste time if they read advanced concepts chapters. Only lists of refernces are useful.


A Comprehensive Radar Text
The radar with microwaves by Roger Sullivan is a very complete text which covers a width of the matters of the crossing current tendencies basic of research. The insurance of much of important matters of radar separates this book from all the others, including the traditional introduction to the systems of radar by Skolnik. These matters include the radar of formation image; identification of target; radar moyen/haut of PRF of impulse of Doppler (multiple forms of wave including PRF and the use of the Chinese theorem of remainder); adaptive treatment of space time; and radar bistatic. I would recommend this text for the new student of radar as well as the engineer of practice.


Excellent overview of current radar trends
The subjected book east "must have" for the engineer of practice of radar. It provides an excellent synopsis of practically all the principal matters in the treatment of the signals of radar: basic techniques, supporting evaluation, the ISAR, the theory of treating SAR, the superb-resolution, the identification of target, pulsates-Doppler/MTI it and the STAP! Matters are covered in a clear and detailed way. The expertise of Dr. Sullivan' S shines in the average chapters of the radar of formation image of cover of book; I appreciated the wide treatment of the current matters, particularly the discussion on the superb-resolution of SAR and the identification of target. Moreover, the capacity of Dr. Sullivan' S to connect "matters of book" to the real applications of probe is large more.


Connected to Current Defense Applications
This is a comprehensive look at imaging radar, by a professional who has developed and deployed SAR systems. Good source book with state of the art references on such subjects as ISAR and STAP (clutter reduction) processing. Much of the last third of the book on specialized topics is derived from government-funded radar (SAR, GMTI, and SAIP target recognition ) research, such as the Global Hawk UAV SAR. Thus, as a sourcebook for working engineers in the defense reconnaissance community it is more practical than a standard academic textbook.


Exceptional Breadth of Coverage
Written well, clearly annotated, complete, and full with the data detailed on radars; it must there recommend much of this book to the engineer of practice. Covers of book of Sullivan an extremely broad binding of the world of the radar and marks of microwave an excellent source of office. Except possible for worthy but considerably larger (and heavier!) the "handbook of radar", no volume covers the various matters that this book. The first five chapters (with chapter ten on the radar of Doppler of impulse) form a six-month period-length text ready with employment (with problems) on the radar on the ground, proceeding starting from the first principles and of a short historical note of the subsets, effects of propagation, the treatment of the signals, and by detecting the radar. There book continues with more specialized matters of SAR/ISAR, automatic identification of target (ATR), of airborne operation, STAP, and operation Bi-statics. The illustrations and the drawings are the book of Sullivan higher and regulated separately: space open, easy to read, and clearly annotated (quotation including reference, if suitable). A device that I found useful am the many tables showing the "real" SAR operational and the parameters of material. These tables completely detailed and complete and are regulated the book independently of other books in the field. Another example of the perfection of the book is the decision of the author to include matters such as the effects of the translation and the rotation of target on the illustrated language of SAR and to detail a part of work in the field by facing the phenomenon. As mentioned in the book, this represents a part of research the last in the field on the work of SAR/ISAR.


Excellent radar book!
This book is written and very useful extremely good. It presents concepts of radar and explains them in enough detail to include/understand fundamental physics. Mathematical derivations are accompanied by good illustrations and excellent verbal descriptions and are easy for no matter whom with a technical bottom to include/understand. The material is logically presented and can be employed to make the work of design of radar, the studies of the trade, simulations, or the evaluations of the execution. It is a very good reference work for somebody who includes/understands already the radar, as well as an excellent handbook for somebody who gets information just about the modern radars.


Good Introduction, Poor "Advanced" Treatment
After having worked with the author during years, it is not any surprise to see the book almost exclusively approved politially, and concentrated on the work of some. The major part of this book is on matters of introduction and, on this, Sullivan shows its excellent capacity to present explanations intuitively simple. However, the book is authorized "advanced formation image and concepts" which, once treated, indicate principal imperfections in the knowledge and the range of the author. Discutablement, the worst chapter is chapter 9 on the identification of target of SAR/ISAR. Here, after a short remark on CFAR (for memory, in these report/ratio of limit, of means of "R" rate, not) basic, the adaptive matched development of filter is copied in summary form and completely then isolated as being "beyond realistic calculation, even for various images." This makes it possible to the author to then present one thing which it has the knowledge of: old woman-fashoined discrimination of "évier of kitchen" of simple-Pixel which sadly developed bases some for SAIP. After much pontification on this (misleading presentation including derived artifically results), the author devotes only half of a page to "autres algorithms of Target-Identification." In this section a short paragraph mentions an algorithm of the decades of limiting work of terminal by Rihacek (in a tonality being incroyante), and a second short paragraph enumerates simply some matters in another book by Borden. For me, a matter expert and a devoted researcher of radar, the emphase and the depth of this book are sad and dismaying. Work is more political although the valuable article, and should be avoided. While some of the matters of introduction are well written, this is eclipsed by slope, imperfection and, in certain cases, disappointment (if which been obstinated or not) in avançés sectors.


A good introduction to modern radar
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a basic understanding of radar fundamentals as well as more advanced concepts. The book covers almost every aspect of modern radar and gives extensive references for in-depth study. An unique feature of the book is its thorough discussion on imaging radar and the related digital signal processing. Many of the homework problems given at the end of each chapter also help to enhance the understanding of various concepts develped throughout the book.
