Re: limiting amp

Dear Marco,

you surely know that the 1st book to begin with is the Skolnik "Introduction to Radar Systems" that is now arrived to the 3th edition (2001).
It isn't difficult to read and give a good overview of the radar field.

To go in depth in selected area I suggest you the Skolnik edited reference "Radar Handbook". It includes large lists of reference material to further explore the interest subjects.

BTW, you can find a copy at

**broken link removed**

the file is

Handbook - Scholnik.pdf

If you need further hepl, do not esitate to ask.

All the good,

Satellite.

PS Do you work on radars or countermeasures?
