—Dr. Mark A. Richards, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA

“The book is applications-oriented with just enough information, delivered at just the right points, to give the reader a straightforward, clear understanding and appreciation of radar for practical applications. I can think of no other texts that specifically apply conventional radar theory to general shortrange problems. ... Unlike conventional radar texts, Charvat’s book gives the reader the knowledge and understanding to develop and use radars for practical, everyday applications.”

—Prof. Carey Rappaport, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

"This textbook fills a large void by providing realworld examples of Doppler, ranging, and synthetic aperture radar systems along with extensive examples of radar sensitivity and design parameters. Its coverage of fundamental radar principles in a form directly accessible to students is unique, and provides a needed hands-on-based approach to the subject.”

Call for Authors: Gregory L. Charvat Series on Practical Approaches to Electrical Engineering Aim and Scope: Technology development moves quickly in the modern era. An engineer must be able to “ball park” a design, rapidly create proof of concept, and measure results to drive product development. This new series will enable those interested in moving quickly from concept to implementation.

Focusing on the key concepts, books in the series keep tangential and superfluous discussion to a minimum. This series will serve as the bridge between breakthrough concepts in academia and rapid real-world implementation.
