was the first sign that a series of STAP texts can be expected as that research

topic matures and reaches mainstream use. The book by Guerci (2003) is the
newest primer on this subject at this writing, while Van Trees (2002) prepared
a detailed text that continues his classic series on detection and estimation.
Additionally, there are other texts on more limited forms of adaptive
interference rejection. A good example is the one by Nitzberg (1999), which
discusses several forms of sidelobe cancellers. An excellent new book covering

a wide range of advanced radar signal processing techniques, including such
new topics as multi-input, multi-output radar, and compressive sensing, is the
companion volume to (Richards et al., 2010) by Melvin and Scheer (2013).

1.6.4 Radar Applications
The preceding sections have cited a number of books addressing general radar
applications, such as imaging or pulse Doppler. There are a number of books in
the literature devoted to more specific application areas. The forthcoming text

by Melvin and Scheer (2014) will provide an excellent survey of and
introduction to a wide range of applications in a single text, and will complete
the Principles of Modern Radar series.

1.6.5 Current Radar Research
Current radar research appears in a number of scientific and technical journals.
The most important in the United States are the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic
Systems, Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Transactions on
Signal Processing, and Transactions on Image Processing. Radar-related
material in the latter is generally limited to papers related to SAR processing,
especially interferometric three-dimensional SAR. In the United Kingdom, radar
technology papers are often published in the Institution of Engineering and
Technology (IET) [formerly the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE)]

journal IET Radar, Sonar, and Navigation.
