Radar High-Speed Target Detection via Coherent Integration Transform offers a systematic presentation of high-speed radar target detection methods using coherent integration transforms including the signal model, derivations of coherent integration transforms, and definitions of related key concepts.The authors present mathematical models and design principles necessary to analyze the behavior of each type of coherent integration transform, and based on this, they introduce and convey new approaches and techniques for designing such transforms, which will help to achieve efficient signal integrators and detectors, especially in the challenging low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments.The book will be of interest to graduate students and engineering professionals in statistical signal processing, signal detection and estimation, and radar signal processing.

Radar array design aims at shaping a specific transmit/receive beampattern through optimizing array geometry, transmit waveform, and transmit/receive weight vectors. It is a hot topic among the scientific and industrial communities due to the advent of modern digital arrays with multiple digital transmit and receive channels, arbitrary digital waveform generators, and solid-state transmitters. The radar array beampattern is a critical performance metric, and there has been a proliferation of techniques for radar array design exploiting the mathematical results drawn from optimisation theory.

This book provides an overview of radar waveform synthesis obtained as the result of computational optimization processes and covers the most challenging application fields. The book balances a practical point of view with a rigorous mathematical approach corroborated with a wealth of numerical study cases and some real experiments. Additionally, the book has a cross-disciplinary approach because it exploits cross-fertilization with the recent research and discoveries in optimization theory. The material of the book is organized into ten chapters, each one completed with a comprehensive list of references.
