Introduction to Airborne Radar

Rating:
Summary: A radar book for EVERYBODY!
Review: Great Book! Generations of Radar Teachers at the Technical School of the German Airforce have been using this book as a source for information. The author is capable of explaining complex issues with simple words and a few little slides. So his book helps us to prepare Radar lessons for our pupils: radar technicians (air defense radar). We are happy that this book is available for everybody, finally!

Summary: Not easy reading
Review: I bought this book because I work with radar and would like to improve my understanding of it. This book is a good middle ground, but for a dummy like me, several chapters require re-reads. One of the most annoying things is that when the author describes related material, he doesn't compare and contrast as much as write one paragraph on the attributes of thing A and then another paragraph on thing B using all but two words that were used in the first paragraph. The reader must wade through this writing and then compare and contrast themself.
So, it's a good book and probably a great book if you have a better than average technical background, but it's not as easy as the first few pages (Amazon free preview) lead you to believe.

Summary: As attractive and accessible as ever, full color throughout
Review: Over five years in the making, the revision adds 12 entirely new chapters and updates all the others. Still with full color illustrations and a very readable, step-by-step style easily absorbed by technicians, pilots, aerospace marketers, and all with a good high school science background.

Summary: Great Introductory Book for New Radar Systems Engrs Like Me
Review: This book is a great reference for any radar related questions. I felt it was organized fairly well and especially geared for novices in the field like me. The illustrations aided me in understanding some of the tougher concepts and I especially enjoyed the historical sidebar descriptions that spanned the history of radar-equipped airplanes. For the next edition, I hope the authors expand their appendices to include more expansive summary set of equations and concepts as even a quicker reference.
