Matlab code for simulation of radar received power versus range. There are other files for additional features like aperture area, swirling objects and pulse integration
Happy learning!
It’s your first day in the lab.Undoubtedly you are experiencing a range
of emotions: excitement, curiosity, anxiety. You will be working in
this lab and with a group of people, as well as with your supervisor,
for several years to come. This is the first day of a long commitment
and, for some, a hard road ahead. Which is why it’s important to get
off on the right foot.
Short-range communications is one of the most relevant as well as diversified fields of en-
deavour in wireless communications. As such, it has been a subject of intense research and
development worldwide, particularly in the last decade. There is no reason to believe that this
trend will decline. On the contrary, the rapidly crystallizing vision of a hyper-connected world
will certainly strengthen the role of short-range communications in the future. Concepts such
as wireless social networks, Internet of things, car communications, home and office network-
ing, wireless grids and personal communications heavily rely on short-range communications
technology.
Developers, manufacturers and marketers of products incorporating short-
range radio systems are experts in their fields—security, telemetry,
medical care, to name a few. Often they add a wireless interface just to
eliminate wires on an existing wired product. They may adapt a wireless
subsystem, which is easy to integrate electrically into their system, only to
find that the range is far short of what they expected, there are frequent
false alarms, or it doesn’t work at all. It is for these adapters of wireless
subsystems that this book is primarily intended.
