Overview

The book presents principles of operation of radar and radionavigation systems. The group of radar systems includes: primary and secondary radiolocations, bistatic and multistatic systems. They are illustrated with relevant examples of calculation and applications. The issues of increasing the range of the radar systems are presented together with the matched filtering of the used signals. Other discussed issues are methods for eliminating interfering signals and researching methods of 3D space. Various methods of the monopulse radiolocation are presented in Chapter 12. In Chapters 13–18 terrestrial and satellite radionavigation systems are under discussion. The terrestrial systems are: Loran C, Decca Navigator and Omega. The TRANSIT is an example of a hyperbolic satellite system. The stadiometric systems GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BeiDou, IRNSS and QZSS are discussed together with differential systems augmentating of them. The ILS, MLS and TLS supporting the landing of aircrafts are discussed in Chapter 17. The prospects for replacing of them with satellite systems augmentated by appropriate reference ground-based stations (GBAS) are also analyzed. Various beacons and ranging devices used in aviation are described in the Chapter 18. This book is intended primarily for students and engineers interested in radar, radionavigation and aerospace engineering.

Author Information

Stanisław Rosłoniec was born on June 25, 1948, in Ostaszewo, Poland. He received his M.Sc. degree (in electronic engineering) from Warsaw University of Technology in 1972. After graduation, he joined the Department of Electronics (Institute of Radioelectronics) of Warsaw University of Technology where in 1976, he was granted with distinction his doctor’s degree (Ph.D). He received the higher doctor’s degree (Dr Sc.) in 1991 also from Warsaw University of Technology. Finally, he obtained the degree of professor of technical sciences  from the President of the Republic of Poland in 2001.   Since 1992, he is closely cooperating with the Telecommunications Research Institute (PIT), Poland. Therefore, his didactic and research interests are mainly focused on relevant for practice problems of microwave and antenna techniques, especially on the design methods of various passive microwave devices and high-directivity radar antennas. Several array antennas designed by him operate in long-range surveillance radars of type TRD-12, RST-12M, CAR-1100 and TRS-15 fabricated by PIT for the Polish Army and foreign contractors.    Stanisław Rosłoniec is the author over 80 reviewed scientific papers, 25 technical reports,  3 patents, and 10 books. A list of mentioned books includes 4 academic handbooks and 6 monographs. Two of them, viz. “Algorithms for computer-aided design of linear microwave circuits” (1990) and “Fundamental numerical methods for electrical engineering” (2008) have been published by top internationally recognized publishers, respectively, by Artech House Inc., USA, and Springer Verlag, Germany. The latest of his book entitled “Some  design problems of contemporary antenna technique” (in Polish) has been  published in 2022 by Publishing House of the Military University of Technology, Warsaw. He is a senior member of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE/MTT-S).
