Overview

Ultra-wideband radar have waveforms with fractional bandwidths greater than 25 percent of centre frequency. Therefore, by their nature, ultra-wideband signals are difficult to detect and have potential applications in low probability of detection active surveillance systems. This text presents the basic theory and practical materials needed by anybody who needs to design, analyze or evaluate potential applications for ultra-wideband radar. Topics covered include systems, mathematical analysis, transmitters, antennas, propagation, wave form and target effects. The book is intended for electrical and electronics engineers, and aeronautical engineers.
