Abstract
Rapid progress in radar technology has a direct impact on the design issues of high performance systems. Radar performs well in all weather conditions and, therefore, is utilized in a variety of applications: short- and long-range automotive radars (SRR and LRR), traffic monitoring, the automotive radars for intelligent cruise control, etc. Some of these applications are demonstrated in Fig. 1.3a.
