Book SynopsisThe micro-Doppler effect appears as Doppler frequency modulations in coherent laser or microwave radar systems induced by mechanical vibrations or rotations of a target or any part on the target. These Doppler modulations become a distinctive signature of a target that incorporates vibrating or rotating structures, and provides evidence of the identity of the target with movement. This book concentrates on the processing and application of radar micro-Doppler signatures in real world situations, providing readers with a working knowledge on various applications of radar micro-Doppler signatures such as detection, tracking and discrimination of vehicles and dismounts, identifying human movement based on radar micro-Doppler signatures, detection and tracking small boats in sea, detection and discrimination complex motion of missile warheads, discrimination of quadrupedal animals, and detection and tracking of flying birds. Topics covered include bistatic/multistatic micro-Doppler signatures, decomposition of micro-Doppler signatures, through-wall radar micro-Doppler signatures and ultrasound micro-Doppler signature studies. Radar Micro-Doppler Signatures: Processing and applications will be of interest to R&D researchers and engineers in government research centers, industries, and universities around the world who work on radar imaging and signal analysis, target feature extraction, and non-cooperative target recognition.Table of Contents Chapter 1: Micro-Doppler Signatures - Review, Challenges, and Perspectives Chapter 2: Phenomenology of Radar Micro-Doppler Signatures Chapter 3: Analysis of Human Signatures using High-Range Resolution Micro-Doppler Radar Chapter 4: Range and Micro-Doppler Analysis of Human Motion Using High Resolution Experimental HYCAM Radar Chapter 5: Through-the-Wall Micro-Doppler Signatures Chapter 6: Identifying Human Movements Using Micro-Doppler Features Chapter 7: Micro-Doppler Signatures of Helicopter Rotor Blades Chapter 8: Micro-Doppler Signatures of Small Boats Chapter 9: Multistatic Micro-Doppler Signature Processing Chapter 10: Signal Decomposition of Micro-Doppler Signatures Chapter 11: Sonar Micro-Doppler Signatures: Principles and Applications Chapter 12: Radar Micro-Doppler Signature of Wind Turbines

Book SynopsisRadar Principles for the Non-specialist, 3rd Edition continues its popular tradition: to distil the very complex technology of radar into its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. It starts with electromagnetic propagation, describes a radar of the utmost simplicity, and derives the radar range equation from that simple radar. Once the radar range equation is available, the book attacks the meaning of each term in it, moving through antennas, detection and tracking, radar cross-sections, waveforms and signal processing, and systems applications. At the finish, the reader should be able to do an acceptable, first order radar design and to critique the design of others. Students, engineers, scientists and managers will benefit from this book. The more noticeable enhancements to the third edition are the additions of equation numbers, more numerical examples, tables and figures showing many of the concepts numerically, and exercises for almost all of the concepts. These enhancements make the book easier to learn from and easier to teach out of.Table of Contents Chapter 1: Elementary Electromagnetics and the Radar Range Equation Chapter 2: Antennas Chapter 3: Detection and Tracking Chapter 4: Radar Cross Section Chapter 5: Waveforms and Signal Processing Chapter 6: Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Chapter 7: Systems Applications Chapter 8: Loose Ends of Radar Lore Chapter 9: Radar Potentials and Limitations Appendix 1: Conversion to Decibels Appendix 2: The Radar Spectrum Appendix 3: Fourier Series and Transforms Appendix 4: Answers to Exercises Appendix 5: Glossary

Book SynopsisThere has long been a strong collaboration between geologists and archaeologists, and the sub-field of geoarchaeology is well developed as a discipline in its own right. This book now bridges the gap between those fields and the geophysical technique of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), which allows for three-dimensional analysis of the ground to visualize both geological and archaeological materials. This method has the ability to produce images of the ground that display complex packages of materials, and allows researchers to integrate sedimentary units, soils and associated archaeological features in ways not possible using standard excavation techniques. The ability of GPR to visualize all these buried units can help archaeologists place ancient people within the landscapes and environments of their time, and understand their burial and preservation phenomena in three-dimensions. Readership: Advanced students in archaeology and geoarchaeology, as well as practicing Table of ContentsAbout the Author vii Acknowledgments viii 1 Introduction to Ground]penetrating Radar in Geoarchaeology Studies 1 Introduction 1 Scales and Applications of Geoarchaeological Studies with GPR 3 Basics of the GPR Method 4 Integrating GPR with the Geological and Archaeological Record 6 References 10 2 Basic Method and Theory of Ground]penetrating Radar 12 Introduction 12 Production of Reflections, Depth of Penetration, and Resolution 14 Data Collection and Recording 15 Production and Processing of Reflection Profiles 16 More Advanced Data Processing Steps 18 Interpretation of GPR Reflections in Profiles 19 Resolution of Stratigraphic Units 22 Weather and Moisture Differences as They Affect Resolution 27 References 32 3 Integration of Geology, Archaeology, and Ground]penetrating Radar 34 Introduction 34 Examples of Correlating Radar Reflections to Define Stratigraphic Interfaces 35 References 44 4 Fluvial, Alluvial Fan, and Floodplain Environments 46 Introduction 46 Fluvial Systems 47 Fluvial Terraces 51 Alluvial Fans 56 References 60 5 Soils Horizons, Peat Bogs, and Swamps 62 Introduction 62 Soil Horizons 63 Swamps and Peat Bogs 69 References 71 6 Beaches, Sand Dunes, and other Coastal Environments 73 Introduction 73 Beaches 74 Erosion Features along Coasts 77 Lagoon and Tidal Flats 79 Aeolian Dunes 81 References 90 7 Lakes and Deltas 92 Introduction 92 Lakes 93 Deltas 94 References 97 8 Caves and Rock Shelters 99 Introduction 99 Rock Shelters 100 Mapping Adjacent to Rock Shelters 104 Caves 106 References 111 9 Anthropogenic Features and Urban Environments 113 Introduction 113 Middens 114 Anthropogenic Deposits 118 Urban Settings 122 References 130 10 Conclusions 132 Collection of Data for this Book and the Future of GPR in Geoarchaeology 132 Environments Where GPR is Most Applicable in Geoarchaeology 134 The Future of GPR in Geoarchaeology 136 References 136 Glossary of Common GPR Terms 138 Index 143
