Principles of Modern Radar: Advanced techniques

William Melvin is Director of the Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory at the Georgia Tech Research Institute and an Adjunct Professor in Georgia Tech’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. His research interests include systems engineering, advanced signal processing and exploitation, and high-fidelity modeling and simulation. He has authored over 160 publications in his areas of expertise and holds three patents on adaptive radar technology. Among his distinctions, Dr. Melvin is a Fellow of the IEEE, with the follow citation: ‘For contributions to adaptive signal processing methods in radar systems.’ He received the Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. (with High Honors) degrees in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University.

Jim Scheer has 40 years of hands-on experience in the design, development, and analysis of radar systems. He currently consults and works part time for GTRI and teaches radar-related short courses. He began his career with the General Electric Company (now Lockheed Martin Corporation), working on the F-111 attack radar system. In 1975 he moved to GTRI, where he worked on radar system applied research until his retirement in 2004. Mr. Scheer is an IEEE Life Fellow and holds a BSEE degree from Clarkson University and the MSEE degree from Syracuse University.
