Easily understandable. - After graduating with an BS in EE from Va-Tech, I managed to land a job involving radars. Coming in fresh, I decided to learn more about the subject at hand by investing some of my personal time on a book. I ran across this book after reading a fair amount of reviews. This particular book contains a lot of information involving radar operations. It seems some great minds went into creating this exceptional book - all of them from GTRI. Even with an undergraduate level of understanding, I am able to pick up on all of the material covered. I haven't picked up any other material involving antenna theory or RF theory either. The only downside to the book seems to be that there isn't any information involving most of the common scan types. It would have been great if I could've learned about Raster scans or Sector scans, for instance, without having to look elsewhere. Even so, I've managed to learn a great deal without starting a library yet and as such, I give this book five stars. Review: Exactly What it Says on the Tin - This is a first look at the concepts and theory of operation of modern radar systems. I got this book to supplement some of the classics by Skolnik, Barton, Blake, et. al., mostly because many of these, though still valuable in their own right, were written before modern techniques based on current hardware became prevalent. You will find all the basic concepts discussed here, though not at enough length to really design or build anything. Radar is a very extensive field, and the references listed at the end of each chapter provide plenty of additional understanding. There are entire books devoted to antenna design, transmitter architecture, receiver design, signal processing, clutter, arrays, etc. The level of mathematical rigor should be comprehensible to anyone with a technical, scientific, or engineering background. No single radar book has all the answers, but this is a good place to start. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #256,343 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Radar Technology #7,695 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 75 Reviews | ## Images ![Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jNEvkE-2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read.

For me, there appears to be sufficient technical rigor to be useful for engineering analysis. The book is very up to date with its graphics and topics discussed, without necessarily ignoring legacy topics. This text is probably not completely ideal for someone well versed in the topic, but might make a good "all 'rounder" type of reference. Deeper topics are covered in other textbooks of this nature. ## Frequently Bought Together - Principles of Modern Radar: Basic Principles - Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing, Third Edition - Principles of Modern Radar: Advanced techniques (Radar, Sonar and Navigation) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2050168-principles-of-modern-radar-basic-principles](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2050168-principles-of-modern-radar-basic-principles) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
