Acknowledgements
As editors for this volume, we are very grateful to the publisher, Dudley Kay, for his
enduring support and encouragement. Special thanks also go to Brent Beckley for all of
his efforts on the sales and marketing front. We are also grateful to Dudley and Brent for
gathering and managing the unusually numerous volunteer reviewers whose participa-
tion as a ‘‘community effort’’ over the course of the three-volume series has been
remarkable and inspiring.
Most important, though, we remain thankful to our families for their patience, love,
and support as we prepared materials, revised, reviewed, coordinated, and repeated. This
book, like the others, represents time away from the ones we love. We thank them for
their understanding, kindness, and support.
To Our Readers
We hope the reader will enjoy this book! Radar is and will continue to be an immensely
exciting and diverse field of engineering.
Please report errors and refinements. We know from the publication of the first two
volumes that even the most diligently reviewed and edited book is bound to contain
errors in the first printing. It can be frustrating to see such errors persist, even in many
subsequent printings. We continue to appreciate SciTech Publishing’s commitment to
correct errors and enhance the book with each printing. So, it remains a ‘‘community
effort’’ to catch and correct errors and improve the book. You may send your suspected
errors and suggestions to:

This email will reach us and SciTech concurrently so we can confer and confirm the
modifications gathered for scheduled reprints. You are always welcome to contact us
individually as well.
