The design features and operation of practical radar systems are highlighted throughout the book in order to illustrate important theoretical foundations. The authors begin by discussing background topics such as electromagnetic scattering, polarization, and wave propagation. They then deal in detail with the engineering aspects of pulsed Doppler polarimetric radar, including the relevant signal theory, spectral estimation techniques, and noise considerations. They close by examining a range of key applications in meteorology and remote sensing. The book will be of great use to graduate students of electrical engineering and atmospheric science as well as to practitioners involved in the applications of polarimetric radar systems. 606 $aRadar meteorology 606 $aDoppler radar 606 $aPolariscope 606 $aRadio waves$xPolarization$xMeasurement 606 $aPolarimetry 615 0$aRadar meteorology. 615 0$aDoppler radar. 615 0$aPolariscope. 615 0$aRadio waves$xPolarization$xMeasurement. 615 0$aPolarimetry. 676 $a551.63/53 700 $aBringi$b V.
