MIT Lincoln Laboratory: Workshops/Education: Video Lectures and Courses: Introducton to Radar Systems 

Introduction to Radar Systems Overview This set of 10 lectures (about 11+ hours in duration) was excerpted from a three-day course developed at MIT Lincoln ... Laboratory to provide an understanding of radar systems concepts and technologies to military officers and DoD civilians involved in radar systems development, acquisition, and related fields. That three-day program consists of a mixture of lectures, demonstrations, laboratory sessions, and tours. This set of lectures is presented by Dr. Robert M. O'Donnell , a recently retired member of the senior staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and is designed to instill a basic working knowledge of radar systems. Description of Lectures The set of 10 lectures starts with an introductory description of basic radar concepts and terms. The radar equation needed for the basic understanding of radar is then developed, along with several examples of its use in radar system design. Radar propagation issues, such as attenuation, multipath effects and du   [More...] [Less...]
