This is the professional technician's practical guide to understanding the installation, maintenance and repair of modern radar systems. This book fully explains how the various types of modern radar systems operate. It is written at the level of the professional electronics repair technician, rahter than at the engineering level. Land, air and sea-based radar systems are all covered in a practical, as opposed to theoretical manner.

This book takes a unique approach to radar systems, combining historical insight with technical information. To illuminate state-of-the-art designs, the author takes the reader as far back as original World War II concepts. Mathematical explanations rely only on basic trigonometric concepts, keeping the information accessible to those new to the field while providing sound technical information for experienced professionals. The book includes detailed illustrations for enhanced concept visualization, including valuable illustrations of oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer displays. The reader will appreciate the treatment of such topics as moving-target-indicator (MTI), moving-target-detector (MTD), and air traffic control radar beacon systems (ATCRBS) in air traffic control radars. End of chapter review problems, with answers provided on a separate page, test reader understanding. An illustrated appendix provides definitions and page references to aid the reader in locating more information in the text.

How do scientists predict the weather? What tools and instruments help them make forecasts? How far in advance can they make good predictions? Weather forecasting is a tricky science. Forecasters gather current weather data and study trends and historical patterns. They use their expertise to predict what kind of weather is likely coming next—with help from computers, satellites, and other machines. In this fact-packed book, discover what it really takes to forecast Earth’s weather.

This is a standard reference for FAA and military air traffic control engineers and maintenance technicians focused on ground-based radar systems. With the evolution and increasing sophistication of modern radar systems, now more than ever a single-source reference is needed that contains simply understandable information on MTI, MTD, and Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon systems. There is a downside to the drive away from knowledge-based problem solving...massive increases in costs and waste inherent in the idea of lowest replaceable units. Fewer technicians are expected to manage more systems while knowing less about their equipment. This unique training and reference text will not only provide answers for day-to-day tasks, it will also help allay cost increases and waste.
