Today radar is entering many more new domains of application than the traditional ones of military and civil traffic control, such as weather and climate research, agriculture, water surface pollution, automotive and security systems. Actually too large a diversity of applications to list and discuss all of them.
The course aims at providing understanding on the operation of the various subsystems and how each of them affects the behaviour of the integrated system. You will also learn how the various parameters of radar and its design impact the performance in terms of detection range, accuracies, robustness, etc.
The thread in the course is the case study of the design of a real radar system, in which all the various topics will be discussed in a proper context. Besides the theoretical parts and case studies, there are demonstrations of (small) operating radar systems and excursions to measurement set-ups of radars or antennas.
The course:
Intended for
Engineers (academics or higher professional education) involved in the purchase, use or design of radar on system level.
The course will be presented in English.

“All topics have been dealt with in a relatively high pace. In-depth, very complete. The lessons are of a good level, very interesting.”Susan Varenbrink (Ministerie van Defensie)
“An in-depth course that handles the many subjects sufficiently. Derivations of formulas are not shunned. A very complete course on radar design.”Employee TNO
“Good and very approachable teachers from different disciplines. I'm glad to have followed the course, I've learned a lot!”Employee Koninklijk Instituut voor de Marine
“Having worked on radar technology for two years, but never having followed a radar course before, this course filled in the gaps for me. The course provided a good foundation on various aspects of a radar system and focused on issues related to radar signal processing. Professor van Genderen was very knowledgeable and eager to help us learn.”Medewerker van TNO (incompany)
“I enjoyed the course. I valued the most the hands-on experience of the lecturer. This was not a signal processing course but an field-experience transfer course. I liked it.”Mario Coutino (TNO, incompany)
