Seminar: Introduction to Radar Signal Processing
Introduction to Radar Signal Processing is a three-day seminar presenting a engineers and related technical personnel introducing the most important signal models and processing techniques used in a wide variety of radars. Major topical areas include signal models, detection, waveforms, Doppler processing, measurement accuracy, and overviews of adaptive processing, target tracking, and radar imaging.
The seminar is suitable for engineers and related technical personnel. It presumes some prior familiarity with basic radar concepts, but does not require extensive prior experience.
Participants receive a soft-cover notebook containing hard copy of all seminar slides, as well as a CD with PDF files of all slides. Participants also receive a copy of the textbook Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing, third edition (McGraw-Hill, 2022), by Dr. Richards.
The seminar is offered on a consulting or fee-for-service basis. Participation does not earn any Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or other accredited credentials.
Following is an outline of the seminar content. (Note: this outline is subject to update and change.) For additional information, including pricing, availability, and other available seminars, please contact Dr. Richards.
