The
course aims to develop the basic theory underlying the radar system, focusing
in the hardware. The students will learn basic radar concepts including the
radar equation for different applications. Different types of radars such as
FM, FM-CW, Pulse, etc., are discussed. Strengths and weaknesses are addressed
as well as applications for different types of radars. Calibration techniques are
also discussed. Detection of signals in noise. Typical radar transmitters and
receivers.
