  • About the Editor
    • Explains radar equation parameters-transmit power, antenna gain, target radar cross section-and detection range limits.
    • Introduces waveform types (CW, pulsed, chirp) and their impact on resolution, Doppler processing, and clutter rejection.
    • Covers key subsystems: RF front end, signal processor, and display, as well as considerations for ECCM and stealth detection.

Daniel Weber is a radar-systems engineer specializing in fundamental radar principles and transceiver development. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering researching Doppler signal processing and clutter suppression techniques. Daniel has led projects building X-band and S-band radar prototypes for maritime and air-traffic-control applications. He publishes on pulse-compression waveform design and antenna-array beamforming. His current work explores cognitive-radar concepts and adaptive waveform selection for contested environments.
