DESCRIPTION:
a Examples are featured that illustrate the process of designing a sensor for a particular application, ranging from such diverse topics as the design of a ship-borne fire control radar to a UAV based lidar scanner to detect locust swarms. a There are 572 figures of which about 20% are photographs, the remainder drawings with 25 tables. a For a broader appeal, complicated mathematical derivations are avoided unless absolutely necessary, and electronic details of the sensors are limited to block diagram and algorithm level. . From the Back Cover Key Features Include: a Extensive use of worked examples based on sensors

If you only purchase one text throughout your degree this is it! Sarah McDonald This book without a doubt is the best complete introduction to sensors. With an intuitive and progressive layout, practical applications and well explained worked examples the book proves to be a fantastic reference and unbeatable stepping stone on the path to more advanced sensor theories and applications.All cases and example. "A Practicianer's Insight" according to WretchedGroover. While other texts tend to focus on the theoretical aspects of sensors, they rarely manage to balance the conceptual development with practical examples and real-world sensing applications as well as this author does.This text is well-suited for those looking for an introduction to both theoretical concepts (explained concisely . Jennie said wonderful. I found this book to be a fabulous, instructive book. It is well laid out and easy to find the information required and covers a broad range of topics in a lot of depth.I'm very pleased to own it
Several chapters cover signal propagation of both electromagnetic and acoustic energy, target characteristics, stealth and clutter. This is a comprehensive textbook and reference that provides a solid background in active sensing technology. The remainder of the book involves the basics of the range measurement process, active imaging with an emphasis on noise and linear frequency modulation techniques, Doppler processing, and target tracking.. Beginning with a historical overview and an introductory section on signal generation, filtering and modulation, it follows with a section on radiometry (infrared and microwave) as a background to the active sensing process. The core of the book is concerned with active sensing, starting with the basics of time-of-fl
