Course Description

Understand radar waveforms and the tools necessary to analyze, design, and select radar waveforms for particular applications. Examine waveform properties using graphics, equations, demonstrations, and an interactive software tool. Get insight into techniques for analyzing and designing waveforms based on fundamental waveform properties and the desired application. Learn the impact of error sources and hardware/system limitations on performance as well as the impact of radar mode on waveform selection.

Student Requirements

Students are required to bring a laptop computer to class, and will be provided software and simulation tools that will be exercised as a part of the course. If bringing a MAC, Matlab 2007a or higher must be installed.

NOTE:
Students registered for this course being held at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center in Atlanta are not required to bring a laptop, as the course will be held in a computer lab.

Instructor

Byron Keel, a principal research engineer, is the head of the Signal Processing Branch of the Radar Systems Division of Georgia Tech Research Institute's Sensor and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory. With more than 19 years of experience in radar system analysis, waveform design, and signal processing, Keel's research efforts include the design and analysis of wideband, pulse compression waveforms.
