This chapter discusses several areas of interest that were not considered previously. The optimum detection problem is an obvious topic not discussed up to this point. Section 10.2 discusses five topics: target tracking, space-time processing for radar, space-time processing for wireless communications, matched field processing, and spatial spectrum estimation. These topics are closely related to the subjects in this book. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Radar stands for radio detection and ranging. It operates by radiating electromagnetic waves and detecting the echo returned from the targets. The nature of an echo signal provides information about the target-range, direction, and velocity. Radar and sensor systems are big business. The two major applications of RF and microwave technology are communications and radar/sensor. In this chapter, an introduction and overview of radar systems are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
