Synopsis

Radar systems find applications in daily living from traffic speed monitoring to inspection processing in quality assurance of goods to the safe guidance of aircraft flying in local/international airspaces, as well as for take-offs and landings from airports/airbases. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of radar principles from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Laboratory training with a scaled working analogue and digital radar system will be used to reinforce analytical modeling in seminars. Exercises using MATLAB in radar modeling will also be given as a part of the continuous assessment.
