DESCRIPTION:
Bert Hawkins said Exceptional Breadth of Coverage. Well written, clearly annotated, thorough, and full of detailed data on radars; there is a lot to recommend this book to the practicing engineer.Sullivan's book covers an extremely broad swath of the world of microwave radar and makes an excellent desktop source. With the possible exception of the venerable but considerably larger (and heavier!) "Radar Handbook", no single volume covers the diverse topics this book does.The first five chapters (along with chapter ten on pulse Doppler radar) form a ready-made semester-long text (with problems) on ground. Good Introduction, Poor "Advanced" Treatment Mark R. Allen, PhD Having worked with the author over the years, it is no surprise to see the book endorsed politially, and focused almost exclusively on the work of a few.Most of this book is on introductory topics and, on this, Sullivan shows his excellent ability to present intuitively simple explanations. However, the book is entitled "imaging and advanced concepts" which, when treated, reveal major shortcomings in the author's knowledge and scope.Arguably, the worst chapter is Chapter 9 on SAR/ISAR Target Recognition. Here, after a brief remark on CFAR (for the reco. "Excellent overview of current radar trends" according to A Customer. The subject book is a "must have" for the practicing radar engineer. It provides an excellent summary of virtually all major topics in radar signal processing: basic techniques, bearing estimation, ISAR, theory of SAR processing, super-resolution, target recognition, pulse-Doppler/MTI and STAP! Topics are covered in a clear, in-depth manner. Dr. Sullivan's expertise shines in the middle chapters of the book covering imaging radar; I enjoyed the extensive treatment of current topics, especially the discussion on SAR super-resolution and target ID.
