Introduction to Sensors for Ranging and Imaging

Download or read book Introduction to Sensors for Ranging and Imaging written by Graham Brooker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This comprehensive text-reference provides a solid background in active sensing technology. It is concerned with active sensing, starting with the basics of time-of-flight sensors (operational principles, components), and going through the derivation of the radar range equation and the detection of echo signals, both fundamental to the understanding of radar, sonar and lidar imaging. Several chapters cover signal propagation of both electromagnetic and acoustic energy, target characteristics, stealth, and clutter. The remainder of the book introduces the range measurement process, active imaging, with an emphasis on noise and linear frequency modulation techniques, Doppler processing, and target tracking."--Back cover.
