Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic principles of radar systems. The course covers primary, secondary and passive radar systems. The course also introduces students to the basic radar subsystems, their interconnections and design. Theoretical instruction will be complemented by seminars devoted to practical examples, analysis and modelling of real systems. Special attention will be paid to signal and data processing algorithms.
By studying the course the student will gain knowledge in the field of different types of radar systems, their concept and principles of detection and extraction of target coordinates, tracking and data fusion. The knowledge will also cover system design issues (radar range, radar signals, pulse compression, etc.). Another example is the introduction to the design of complex systems and the interconnection of the individual competences acquired in previous studies.
