This looks very interesting, but I'd like to know from people that have already read it how relevant it still is since it was published.

- CamperBob2 11y agoI just skimmed through the whole thing, and was pretty impressed. It definitely accomplishes its goal of giving non-experts a broad view of the whole field. The author alludes to technologies from bistatic radar to compressed sensing to stealth technology that are still actively-researched topics. As far as the basic concepts go, there's really not much new under the sun in the radar business, but there's been a lot of refinement of principles that were already known by the 1970s when the book was published. Every few pages you run into a concept that practically screams for modern DSP techniques. Matched filters, tapped delay lines, correlators, target classification algorithms, stuff like that. About the only thing that's conspicuously absent is any mention of impulse radar.
