Dedham, MA: Artech House, Inc., 1979. Reprint edition, second printing [stated]. Hardcover. [12], 608, [4] pages. Footnotes. Figures. Formulae. Tables. List of Symbols Used. Bibliography and References. Index. This is one of the Artech Radar Library of which Mr. Barton was also the series editor. An earlier edition Radar System Analysis was published in 1964 that was originally part of the Prentice-Hall Microwaves and Fields series and their Electrical Engineering series. This new version has been printed to provide copies to engineers who have newly entered the radar system field and also to correct both substantive and typographical errors in the original. David Knox Barton (born 1927 in Greenwich, Connecticut) is an American radar systems engineer who has made significant contributions to air defense, missile guidance, monopulse radar, low-altitude tracking, air traffic control, and early warning radar. He had authored or edited a well-regarded series of reference books on radar engineering in the late 1970s. David Barton was one of the people behind the MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile system. He was a consulting scientist with Raytheon for at least part of his distinguished career. More

Washington DC: United States Coast Artillery Association, 1949. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. 64 pages, plus covers. Illus. Cover wear and erasure. This Journal was founded in 1892 as The Journal of the United States Artillery and was published as such until 1922. From 1922 until 1948 it was published as the Coast Artillery Journal. The U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps (CAC) was an administrative corps responsible for coastal, harbor, and anti-aircraft defense of the United States between 1901 and 1950. The CAC also operated heavy and railway artillery during World War I. In 1907, Congress split the Field Artillery and Coast Artillery into separate branches, creating a separate Coast Artillery Corps (CAC), and authorizing an increase in the Coast Artillery Corps to 170 companies. National Guard coast artillery units were also formed by the states to attempt to bring the CAC up to strength in wartime. When WWII ended it was decided that few gun defenses were needed, and by 1948 almost all of the seacoast defenses had been scrapped. The Coast Artillery was disestablished in 1950. More

Planetary Radar Astronomy Publications. A Note on Sources. Interviews. Technical Essay: Planetary Radar Astronomy. Abbreviations. For Further Reading. Index. About the Author. This is one of the NASA History Series. Dr. Butrica received his doctorate from the Iowa State University's History of Science and Technology program. He is a professional research historian and the author of numerous books and articles. He has been an invited lecturer at prestigious academic institutions and is a member of a number of professional bodies. The past 50 years prior to the publication of this work had brought forward a unique capability to conduct research and expand scientific knowledge of the Solar System through the use of radar to conduct planetary astronomy. This technology involves the aiming of a carefully controlled radio signal at a planet (or some other Solar System target, such as a planetary satellite, asteroid, or a ring system), detecting its echo, and analyzing the information that the echo carries. This capability has contributed to the scientific knowledge of the Solar System in two fundamental ways. Most directly, planetary radars can produce images of target surfaces otherwise hidden from sight and can furnish other kinds of information about target surface features. Radar also can provide highly accurate measurements of a target's rotational and orbital motions. Such measurements are obviously invaluable for the navigation of Solar System exploratory spacecraft, a principal activity of NASA since its inception in 1958. More
