Product Description
Including a systematic introduction to the fundamental principles of microwave radar, this text presents an extensive discussion of radar imaging. It also features information on image superresolution, automatic target recognition, moving target indication, and space-time adaptive processing (STAP).

 No Advanced Concept January 29, 2004

In contrast to the title " advanced concepts ", this is an introductory book. Readers waste time if they read advanced concepts chapters. Only lists of refernces are useful.
 A Comprehensive Radar Text July 5, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Microwave Radar by Roger Sullivan is a very comprehensive text that covers a breadth of topics from the basic through current research trends. The coverage of many important radar topics separates this book from all others, including the classic Introduction to Radar Systems by Skolnik. These topics include imaging radar; target recognition; medium / high PRF pulse Doppler radar (including multiple PRF waveforms and the use of the Chinese Remainder Theorem); space-time adaptive processing; and bistatic radar. I would recommend this text for the new radar student as well as the practicing engineer.
Excellent overview of current radar trends June 18, 2002

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. Additionally, Dr. Sullivan's ability to relate "book topics" to real-world sensor applications is a big plus.
Connected to Current Defense Applications April 12, 2002

This is a comprehensive look at imaging radar, by a professional who has developed and deployed SAR systems. Good source book with state of the art references on such subjects as ISAR and STAP (clutter reduction) processing. Much of the last third of the book on specialized topics is derived from government-funded radar (SAR, GMTI, and SAIP target recognition ) research, such as the Global Hawk UAV SAR. Thus, as a sourcebook for working engineers in the defense reconnaissance community it is more practical than a standard academic textbook.
Exceptional Breadth of Coverage March 15, 2002

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-based radar, proceeding from first principles and a brief historical note through subsystems, propagation effects, signal processing, and tracking radar. From there the book goes on to the more specialized topics of SAR/ISAR, automatic target recognition (ATR), airborne operation, STAP, and bi-static operation. The illustrations and graphics are superior and set Sullivan's book apart: clear, easy to read, and clearly annotated (including citing the reference, when appropriate). A feature I have found useful are the numerous tables showing "real-world" SAR operational and hardware parameters. These tables are quite detailed and thorough and set the book apart from other books in the field. Another example of the book's thoroughness is the author's decision to include topics such as the effects of target translation and rotation on SAR imagery and to detail some of the work in the field in dealing with the phenomenon. As mentioned in the book, this represents some of the very latest research in the field on SAR/ISAR work.
