Radar System Performance Modeling Course for Groups
Lecturer: G. Richard Curry
Overview - This basic course on radar systems and their analysis and
modeling provides and explains equations, computational methods and data for
evaluating radar performance at the system level.
The course is intended for:
· Systems analysts involved with systems that include radar and
modelers.
· Programmers involved in simulating the performance of radar in
systems.
· Engineers addressing radar system issues.
No advanced math or specialized engineering expertise is required. Only a
general engineering or math background is needed.
The course is given by consultant G. Richard Curry. It is based on his book, "Radar System Performance Modelingm Second Edition," recently published by Artech House, Inc. The book, which includes custom radar Visual BASIC for Applications (VBA) software functions for radar modeling in Excel spreadsheets, is the textbook for the course. Course notes and homework problems are provided with the course.
The course can be given to groups of up to 20 students in the sponsor's facility. The lecture duration can vary between about 4 to 10 hours, depending on the topics included and the level of detail desired.
The course addresses the following radar topics (see also detailed list of topics):
· Introduction to radar modeling
· Radar analysis parameters
· Radar waveforms
· The radar equation
· Radar detection
· Radar search
· Radar measurement
· Radar environment and mitigation techniques
· Radar countermeasures and counter-countermeasures
- Airborne and space-based radar
· Radar performance modeling techniques and examples
