Radar Waveforms: Properties, Analysis, Design and Application

Course Description

In this course, you will gain an understanding of radar waveforms and the tools necessary to analyze, design, and select them for particular applications. You will examine waveform properties using graphics, equations, demonstrations, and an interactive software tool; get insight into techniques for analyzing and designing waveforms based on fundamental waveform properties and the desired application; and learn the impact of error sources and hardware/system limitations on performance as well as the impact of radar mode on waveform selection.
