Resonance and Aspect Matched Adaptive Radar (Ramar)

Resonance and Aspect Matched Adaptive Radar (Ramar) / Terence William Barrett.

The book describes a new form of radar for which the target response is frequency, i.e., resonance-dependent. The book provides both prototype designs and empirical results collected from a variety of targets. The new form of radar, called RAMAR (Resonance and Aspect Matched Adaptive Radar) advances...
