Toomay John C. Radar Principles for the Non-Specialist

2nd edition. — Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1989. — 206 p.This book is about radar. It will teach you the essentials of radar, the underlying principles. It is not like an engineering handbook which provides detailed design equations without explaining either derivation or rationale. It is not like a graduate school textbook which may be abstruse and esoteric to the point of incomprehensibility. And it is not like an anthology of popular magazine articles which may be gaudy but superficial. It is an attempt to distill the very complex, rich technology of radar into its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other.
