Č una noiosa sera d'inverno, piove e tira vento. L'ombra di un uomo sta attraversando un ciglio di strada. Sopraggiunge un'auto, cui farą seguito la voce rotta di uno schianto. Grida, paura, orrore, disperazione: i pensieri si fermano in un buio che ha il volto della morte. Un viaggio che sembra finito, invece č appena iniziato.

Definitive coverage of state-of-the-art over-the-horizon radar systems

High Frequency Over-the-Horizon Radar provides comprehensive details on modern developments in high frequency over-the-horizon (OTH) radar by capturing significant advances made in this area over the past two decades. This authoritative text offers a thorough and accurate treatment of essential aspects, ranging from the physical principles of operation and system design issues, through to signal processing methods, and their practical application to live data recorded by actual OTH radar systems. The strength of the book is its clear explanation of the signal processing aspects, including mathematical descriptions of adaptive processing techniques, an area that has become a cornerstone for the effective operation of OTH radar.
