Radar interferometers provide a cost-effective radar architecture to achieve enhanced angle accuracy for enhanced target tracking. The objective of this book is to quantify interferometer angle estimation accuracy by developing a general understanding of various radar interferometer architectures and presenting a comprehensive understanding of the effects of radar-based measurement errors on angle-of-arrival estimation. As such this book is primarily directed toward tracking radars but will also discuss imaging applications as well.

Dr. E. Jeff Holder is a Senior Member of IEEE and is currently the President of Propagation Research Associates, Inc. (PRA), a small business founded to develop innovative radar technology. He previously served as a Principle Research Scientist and Chief Scientist in the Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory of the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), Georgia Institute of Technology, where he was also an adjunct Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. At GTRI he supported several Government programs that involved interferometer radar development. He received the B.A. degree in mathematics from Florida State University in1969, and the M.A. and Ph.D. in mathematics from Duke University in 1978 and 1980.
