Additional Reading

Complete basic information on all forms of radar is presented in Merrill I. Skolnik, Introduction to Radar Systems, 3rd ed. (2001); and Merrill I. Skolnik (ed.), Radar Handbook, 2nd ed. (1990), a comprehensive reference work written for radar engineers, covering the various aspects of radar technology. George W. Stimson, Introduction to Airborne Radar, 2nd ed. (1998), explains the fundamentals that apply to any radar system and describes the use of radars in military aircraft. S.S. Swords, Technical History of the Beginnings of Radar (1986), surveys developments prior to World War II, focusing on early European achievements. Henry E. Guerlac, Radar in World War II, 2 vol. (1987), is an excellent, authoritative history written by a professional historian with a background in science. Merrill I. Skolnik (ed.), Radar Applications (1988), is a collection of technical papers describing the various applications of radar, such as air traffic control, military air defense, aircraft and spacecraft surveillance, and remote sensing of the environment. David K. Barton, Modern Radar System Analysis (1988), provides a fine technical presentation of many aspects of radar design.
