Exclusions
Description	In the first part of the module, students should become familiar with the principles of RF passive and active radar operation, their main applications and major signal processing techniques. They will learn the principles of radar system design and how sensors are parameterised. In the second part of the module, students will be introduced to the principles of satellite navigation and learn the signal processing techniques that facilitate it. Through coursework students will learn how to apply theoretical concepts to practical system design.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Understand the principles of operation of a range of passive and active RF sensors and select appropriate radar systems for a given application Define radar system architectures and calculate key performance parameters from a set of design requirements Understand fundamental radar signal processing techniques and apply them for a given radar system task Explain the fundamental principles behind satellite navigation and compare the major characteristics of standard satellite navigation systems Describe the signal processing techniques used to extract positioning information and perform simple calculations
