This course will introduce you to basic radar principles and microwave systems. You will be familiarised with critical topics such as receiver sensitivity, dynamic range, jamming, and communication links.
The course gives an introduction to how a radar functions, and especially to the digital signal processing used in modern systems. The most important processes for the radar’s performance will be covered, including propagation and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, the radar equation, waveforms, array antennas, Doppler processing, detection theory and tracking.
