Focusing on the complexities of radio wave propagation near the Earth's surface, this book simplifies the intricate effects of atmospheric conditions, obstacles, and seasonal variations without delving into advanced electromagnetic theory. It aims to equip non-specialists, including electrical engineers, with a practical understanding of radio wave behavior in VHF and UHF ranges, enabling them to grasp essential concepts crucial for wireless applications. The content is accessible yet detailed enough to provide a solid foundation for practitioners.

Focusing on the fundamentals of imaging radar, this book introduces readers to microwave imaging concepts without requiring prior knowledge of radar. It explores the evolution of radar technology, from early aircraft systems in the 1960s to modern multipolarisation and interferometric radar applications. The text highlights the historical context of remote sensing, contrasting the earlier dominance of optical systems with the recent resurgence of interest in microwave imaging due to its unique capabilities. The book aims to clarify the complexities of imaging radar for newcomers.

Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis offers a thorough exploration of methods for processing and interpreting remotely sensed images. This edition updates algorithms while retaining core fundamentals, making it suitable for senior undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers. It emphasizes practical applications with examples and problem sets in each chapter.
