This course is part of our eLearning Archive, which includes older courses that may not be current or as user-friendly as courses designed more recently. The Radar Systems Engineering Series consists of seventeen lectures; each lecture is offered as an individual course. The goal of this series is to provide an advanced introduction to radar systems subsystem issues for first year graduate students, advanced senior undergraduates or professionals new to the field. The material will be most accessible to university graduates with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science / Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering and who have a solid understanding of Electromagnetism and their fields, Probability, and Calculus through Differential Equations, Vector Calculus, and Linear Algebra. Each course consists of a screen-captured PowerPoint lecture narrated by Dr. O'Donnell. In each course Dr. O'Donnell has broken his lecture into one or more separate segments for ease of viewing. All of the material in these courses is subject to copyright laws. In the first segment of this lecture Dr. O'Donnell reviews the specific copyright information for these materials. Following this brief video, the first segment of this lecture will begin.You may also access copyright information by viewing the video listed below on this course page. In his first lecture on parameter estimation and tracking (and fifteenth lecture in the series on radar systems engineering), Dr. O'Donnell focusses on radar parameters. He reviews the measurable radar observables and the parameters calculated based on these. Single target tracking is also discussed. This lecture is divided into three parts.
