Description:

This course introduces students into the theory and principles of Radar. Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects. The term RADAR was coined in 1941 as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. The term has since passed into English usage and is no longer capitalized. This course teaches students the mechanics and scientific basis for radio emissions and amplification and the physics of wavelength utilization. Students will learn about radio signal processing deflection, scattering, chaff, radar cross section, and use of radar equation.
