Introduction to Sensors for Ranging and Imaging (Radar, Sonar and Navigation) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Graham Michael Brooker has nearly thirty years in radar research and development. His work includes a broad range of subjects from systems engineering and developing RF components to writing software for radar and EW applications; developing new millimetre wave radar sensors for mining applications. His MSC was completed in 1983; he later completed his PhD.

Before emigrating to Australia, he ran a laboratory that developed millimetre wave radar systems for both defense and commercial clients. Dr. Brooker has spent the last eight years developing and lecturing the Sensors and Signals course at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics in the University of Sydney. Also, he has presented more than 40 conference papers, various book chapters,as well as writing more than half a dozen journal papers.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Key Features Include:

a[ Extensive use of worked examples based on sensors that the author has developed or worked on during the past 28 years.

a[ Examples are featured that illustrate the process of designing a sensor for a particular application, ranging from such diverse topics as the design of a ship-borne fire control radar to a UAV based lidar scanner to detect locust swarms.

a[ For a broader appeal, complicated mathematical derivations are avoided unless absolutely necessary, and electronic details of the sensors are limited to block diagram and algorithm level.

a[ There are 572 figures of which about 20% are photographs, the remainder drawings with 25 tables.
