Reviews
“Finally, bedtime reading for the radar enthusiast! Readers should not succumb to the unintended implication that this book will put them to sleep. On the contrary, this is an eye-opener. It is an interesting book that is quite easy to dip into.” - Levent Gurel, IEEE Antennas & Propagation Magazine.
“Unlike conventional radar texts, Charvat’s book gives the reader the knowledge and understanding to develop and use radars for practical, everyday applications. The presentation reminds me of a car-repair manual, with careful step-by-step instructions and well-illustrated with highlighted photographs and circuit diagrams, but with just enough math to justify the various approaches used.” - Prof. Carey Rappaport, Northeastern University
“This book is absolutely unique in its focus on hands-on construction and demonstration of a variety of small, low-power, short-range radar systems.” - Mark A. Richards, Georgia Institute of Technology
“The material fills a niche not currently found in the literature: real-world examples of small radar systems that can be implemented by students and professionals new to the field. There is a large need for such material in the university and educational community, as most radar courses feature large and complex system designs costing significant amounts of money.” - Philip Erickson, Director, MIT Haystack Observatory
“The best feature of this book is the wealth of practical information in the form of block diagrams, circuit diagrams, and measurement results that help the reader understand how to turn the theory of small radars into practice.” - Prof. Daniel Fleisch, Ph.D, Wittenberg University
