Stimson’s Introduction to Airborne RadarTHIRD EDITION

Edited by George W. Stimson, Hugh D. Griffiths, Chris J. Baker, Dave Adamy

© 2014 • 8.5 x 11 Hardcover • 747 pagesISBN: 978-1-61353-022-1 • $175.00

It is likely that no technical book, radar or otherwise, presented the fundamentals and applications of a topic with such clarity and interest as George Stimson’s masterpiece. Now a skilled and respected team of radar and EW engineers, working closely with a community of radar advisors and the publisher’s editors, have fully modernized coverage while maintaining the unique look and feel of previous editions. Even the “timeless principles” and core fundamentals have been updated in wording and new graphics, while more advanced concepts and applications in airborne radar now reflect the digital age of radar signal processing and solid state electronics.

Stimson’s is written specifically as an overview without going overboard on the math. Virtually anybody with a knowledge of high school algebra, trigonometry, and physics can read and absorb the vast majority of the material. It contains extensive fundamental materials and practical applications, using visual system exemplars to aid explanations. The unique full color layout is enhanced with an immense number of illustrations, figures, tables, and color photographs.

This book teaches the essentials of radar and electronic warfare in a clear,

consistent way. It distills the very complex, rich technologies of radar and EW into their fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. Readers with a technical or business degree should be well prepared to understand the concepts in this book. The overwhelming majority of these concepts are mathematically represented using algebra. It is written specifically for those with little or no knowledge to give them the ability to critique a first-order radar or EW system design or analysis.
