Course with FREE half-day MATLAB and Simulink Refresher (Jan 25th, 1:00-5:30 p.m.) -- CRN 10179

Course Description

Develop techniques for modeling & simulation of modern radars to apply to radar systems design, analysis, test & evaluation, and performance assessment. Begin with the Radar Equation, then extend modeling & simulation to introduce general radar subsystems (transmitters, receivers, and antennas). Explore phenomenology (propagation and clutter), target physics (RCS and dynamics), and electronic attack to develop the radar modeling & simulation and for the further development of modeling & simulation scenarios.

Who Should Attend

Engineers
Scientists
Managers

How You Will Benefit

Examine radar systems functions, techniques, and methods
Model radar functions and techniques, and system component (transmitter, receiver, and antenna) functions
Learn techniques to integrate propagation, clutter, and radar cross section models into the radar model
Integrate radar system models into scenario simulations for performance evaluation

What You Will Cover

Modeling & Simulation Fundamentals
Review of Radar Fundamentals
Basic Modeling
Modeling the Radar
Modeling Radar Functions
Modeling & Simulation Applications
Modeling & Simulation Methodologies and Techniques

Optional Refresher

The course uses MATLAB and Simulink for the modeling & simulation. Therefore, an optional free MATLAB and Simulink tutorial/refresher is from 1 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday.

Course Materials

Participants receive a notebook and CD with copies of the presentation slides, and MATLAB and Simulink example programs.

Prerequisites

Principles of Modern Radar, Basic Radar Concepts, or a working understanding of radar systems

Certificate
