AESA Radar theory and operations
Learn from a world class engineer, with over five decades of Radar experience to design an AESA Fighter Radar mode suite from the requirements up.
This Intense 40Hr Zoom seminar, which took over 11,000 man-hours to produce, concentrates on the most difficult, most important and least understood mode designs for an AESA Radar integrated in a weapons system operating in a hostile war-time environment.
Adaptive, "Optimal" Search and Track automatic waveform designer
"Optimal" 3DOF-Kalman and more advanced 6DOF-FIR estimators for Multi-Target Track
SAR and 3d SAR with image enhancements, for bombing and Automatic Target Recognition
Free of constrictive security measures: Based on unclassified and non-proprietary fundamental principles that don't change over time, open-source references, and the author's extensive practical experience.
Proven value: Presented over 17 times to new hires and experienced engineers with advanced degrees, actively engaged in AESA Fighter Radar mode development.
Excellent artwork: Animations, Roll over acronyms, Computer aided scheduling, and Cross links to a unique and invaluable hands-on Electronic book.
Mature material: The seminar has matured steadily over 10 years based on extensive student comments and has been completely rewritten three times. The electronic book, especially the chapters on kinematics, linear estimation and matrix optimization are valuable assets in any AESA engineer's toolbox.
Rapid Prototyping Tools:
1000 page electronic book on all the class material linked and cross referenced, to the PowerPoint slides.
Hundreds of user programmable procedures for solving difficult AESA problems.
CAD automatic waveform design tool - for optimizing search and track waveforms.
Extensive list of open-source references on all class material.

Chp 15_MathcadTutorial.pdfWith Mathcad 15.0 M50 installed on your computer, you can view the 1000 page electronic book on all the class material as it was originally designed. All calculations are live and the reader can change parameters or insert new equations for rapid prototyping of user modified designs.
The HTML version of the book (Internet and Mathcad not required) is preferred for reading the material, following PowerPoint slide links, and copying software. Coupled with Browser AI search (Google Lens) and generative AI summaries (co-Pilot) this alternative format provides significant improvements over hard copy text books.
For compatibility purposes a PDF format is also provided.
