Download or read book Fourier Transforms in Radar and Signal Processing, Second Edition written by David Brandwood and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2012 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourier transforms are used widely, and are of particular value in the analysis of single functions and combinations of functions found in radar and signal processing. Still, many problems that could have been tackled by using Fourier transforms may have gone unsolved because they require integration that is difficult and tedious. This newly revised and expanded edition of a classic Artech House book provides you with an up-to-date, coordinated system for performing Fourier transforms on a wide variety of functions. Along numerous updates throughout the book, the Second Edition includes a critical new chapter on periodic waveforms a topic not covered in any other book and detailed coverage of asymmetric triangular pulse. By building upon Woodward's well known "Rules and Pairs" method and related concepts and procedures, this book establishes a unified system that makes implicit the integration required for performing Fourier transforms on a wide variety of functions. It details how complex functions can be broken down to their constituent parts for analysis. You can now concentrate on functional relationships instead of getting bogged down in the details of integration. This approach to implementing Fourier transforms is illustrated with many specific examples from digital signal processing as well as radar and antenna operation. DVD-ROM Included! Contains MATLAB programs that implement many of the results presented in the book.
