Radar Signals is a comprehensive tutorial and overview of waveforms used in radar systems. The book discusses in detail the main features of a radar system, the signals it transmits, and the interaction between the signal and the radar environment. The book dwells on the important role of the matched filter in radar signal processing and makes extensive use of the ambiguity function to describe the resolution and response, in range and Doppler. Practical aspects of radar signal processing are also considered, such as weighting, mismatch, Doppler filtering, and stretch processing. The combination of mathematical analysis, tables, ambiguity plots, software, and exercises makes the book suitable as a textbook and general reference.
