4 It was developed and organized based on my years of teaching graduate levelcourses on RADAR SYSTEMS ANALYSIS and DESIGN including advanced topics in RADAR signal pro-cessing. At the time, the primary motivation behind the book was to introduce a college-suit-able comprehensive textbook that provides hands-on experience with MATLAB companionsoftware. This book very quickly turned into a bestseller, which prompted the publication of itssecond edition in the year 2005. The second edition continued in the same vein as its predeces-sor. It was updated, expanded, and reorganized to include advances in the field and to be morelogical in sequence.

5 New topics were introduced in the body of the text, and much of the MAT-LAB code was updated and improved upon to reflect the advancements of the latest the publication of the first edition, RADAR SYSTEMS ANALYSIS and DESIGN USING MAT-LAB filled a void in the market by presenting a comprehensive and self-contained text on radarsystems ANALYSIS and DESIGN . It was the first book on the market to provide companion MAT-LAB software to support the theoretical and mathematical discussion found within the pagesof the text. These features were also supported with a detailed solutions manual of all end-of-chapter problems.

6 This book quickly became the standard adopted by many books publishedon the subject; none of which, however, matched the clear presentation nor the transparencyoffered by this author, particularly when considering the end-of-chapter solutions manual andthe complete and comprehensive set of MATLAB code, which was made available to all of thebook audience without any restrictions. Users of this book were not only able to reproduce allplots found in the text, but they also had the ability to change the code by inputting their ownparameters so that they could generate their own specific plots and outputs that met their ownunique academic interest.

7 In addition to my academic tenure and experience in teaching the subject at the collegiatelevel, I have also taught numerous industry courses and conducted many seminars on the sub-ject of RADAR SYSTEMS . Based on this teaching experience, the following conclusion has becomevery evident to me: The need and the demand for a comprehensive textbook / reference bookfocused on all aspects of RADAR SYSTEMS DESIGN and ANALYSIS remain very strong. Add to this the1. All MATLAB functions and programs provided in this book were developed USING MATLAB R2011a with the Signal Processing Toolbox, on a PC with Windows XP Professional operating system .

Web: xx Prefacefact that many college professors have adopted this book as the primary textbook for theircourses on RADAR SYSTEMS . Therefore, my desire to write this third edition was turned into real-ity and has materialized into this product. It is my view that the third edition of RADAR SYSTEMS ANALYSIS and DESIGN USING MATLAB iswarranted for the following reasons: (1) bring the text to a more modern status to reflect thecurrent state of the art; (2) incorporate into the new edition much of the feedback this authorhas received from professors USING this book as a text and from other practicing engineers; (3)introduce several new topics that have not found much treatment by other authors, and evenwhen they did, it was not on a level comparable to the comprehensive and exhaustive approachadopted by this author in the first two editions.

9 (4) add many new end-of chapter problems; (5)restructure the presentation to be more convenient for users to adopt the text for either threegraduate-level courses, or one senior-level and two graduate-level courses; and (6) take advan-tage of the new features offered by the latest MATLAB that all MATLAB code provided in this book was designed as an academic standalonetool and is not adequate for other purposes. The code was written in a way to assist the readerin gaining better understanding of the theory. The code was not developed, nor is it intended tobe used as part of an open loop or a closed loop simulation of any kind.

Simply use your favorite web browser, go to , and search for keyword Mahafza to locate this book s web like the first and second editions, this third edition provides easy-to-follow mathemati-cal derivations of all equations and formulas present within the book, resulting in a userfriendly coverage suitable for advanced as well as introductory level college courses. Thisthird edition provides comprehensive up-to-date coverage of RADAR SYSTEMS DESIGN and analysisissues. Users of this book will need only one book instead of several, to gain essential under-standing of RADAR DESIGN , ANALYSIS , and signal processing.
