This book presents novel research ideas and offers insights into radar system design, artificial intelligence and signal processing applications. Further, it proposes a new concept of antenna spatial polarization characteristics (SPC), suggesting that the antenna polarization is a function of the spatial direction and providing new ideas for radar signal processing (RSP) and anti-jamming. It also discusses the design of an advanced signal-processing algorithm, and proposes new polarimetric and anti-jamming methods using antenna inherent properties. The book helps readers discover the potential of radar information processing and improve its anti-interference and target identification ability. It is of interest to university researchers, radar engineers and graduate students in computer science and electronics who wish to learn the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of RSP.

Written by a prominent expert in the field, this authoritative new resource presents anti-ship missile (ASM) electronic protection (EP) techniques designed to enhance accurate target classification currently being developed by personnel from the People’s Republic of China and other nations. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to modern electronic warfare (EW) in an era of information warfare (IW). It explores the capabilities of coherent radar and digital signal processing to rapidly and accurately classify targets. Both naval and air electronic EW are covered in this resource. This book gives insight into modern EW as an information battle and includes guidance on properly testing the effectiveness of electronic attack (EA) systems. Pulsed Doppler radar basics including, electromagnetic pulse, dynamic range, gain control, and Doppler effects are presented. A summary of the ASM sensor and EA model is provided and readers find coverage of the radar range equation, burn through, and the range Doppler map and imaging. Special topic-extended target classifications including, false, decoys, and chaff are explained. Special topic ASM EP waveforms and multiple receiver EP are also covered. This book explores features of algorithms to optimize combining multiple parameters and systems. Moreover, it explains several algorithms proposed by PRC personnel to implement optimal two-channel processing that mitigates cover noise EA.

The devices installed in a space rocket can be divided into three classes: 1) an observing device used to observe physical phenomena in a high-altitude atmosphere and a counting device used to detect the operational condition of a rocket, 2) a teletransmitter used to send observed data to the ground stations, and 3) a radar transmitter to give instantaneous information about the trajectory of a space rocket. Of course, a rocket has equipment in addition to these three fundamental devices in order to ensure all devices and the flight operating efficiently and effectively. Some special techniques are needed to obtain an effective flight for a space rocket having all those measuring and counting and communication devices on board. And some other techniques are needed to get effective operation of the measuring and communication devices. For example, we have to open a window on the nose of the rocket to expose a measuring device to the outside atmosphere, or stretch out an antenna to send radio waves to ground stations. All techniques described here will be under the general heading of device- operation techniques. In the following sections, we shall see the achievements of device- operation techniques; and the author's personal opinion on the future trend of development in the technical field will be briefly described.
