The book introduces various forms of staring radar, which include the earliest and simplest forms of electromagnetic surveillance and its users. It next summarises the physical laws under which all radar operates, and the requirements that these systems need to meet to fulfil a range of applications.

Light filaments created by lasers were first identified at the end of the twentieth century, and investigators are now beginning to explore new applications for them. This book is organized from general overviews to more specialized topics, and presents potential applications in optics, machining, atmospheric study and defence.

This comprehensive textbook and reference provides a solid background in active sensing technology, for graduate students studying sensing systems and industry professionals wishing to expand or update their knowledge. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and expanded to include the latest radar technologies.

The book provides a systematic introduction to the principles, state-of-the-art methods and applications of high frequency surface/sky wave radar and microwave marine radar, as well as an exploration of ongoing challenges in the field. It is a valuable resource for the radar and remote sensing communities.

This book presents comprehensive coverage of new research into sea clutter characterisation and modelling, radar performance prediction and maritime target detection. The book also includes a summary of sea-clutter scattering characteristics and datasets provided that can be used for modelling.

Radar signals are one of the most challenging signals to process, because of the extreme signal to noise ratio and the dynamic range of the signals. This book gives readers an analysis of the various tools available to help better understand radar data, including coverage of new machine learning and statistical methods.

This book focuses on the advances made in the topic of uncertainty quantification (UQ) and stochastic analysis for the design of electromagnetic devices, circuits and systems. It covers the recent explosion in surrogate modelling (metamodeling) techniques for numerically efficient UQ - an attractive, efficient, and popular approach.

This book introduces advanced sparsity-driven models and methods and their applications in radar tasks such as detection, imaging and classification. It is based on research from the last decade, with a particular focus on applying compressed-sensing-based models and algorithms to solve practical problems in radar.
