Police Radar; Index Summary Principles of Modern Radar: Radar Applications is the third of the three-volume seriesof what was originally designed to be accomplished in one volume. As the final volumeof the set, it finishes the original vision of a complete yet bounded reference for radartechnology. This volume describes fifteen different system applications or class ofapplications in more detail than can be found in Volumes I or II. As different as the applications described, there is a difference in how these topicsare treated by the authors. Whereas in Volumes I and II there is strict adherence tochapter format and leve Bibliography Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed March 04, 2014) Subject Radar -- Textbooks Radar. radar.
