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.

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.

• Engineers
• Scientists
• Managers

• 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

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

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