LEARNING OUTCOMES: Knowledge of the main applications and operations of radar systems with the necessary basic elements (both theoretical and technical-operational).
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Being aware, at the system level, performance in terms of scope, discrimination, ambiguity, Doppler filtering
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: knowing how to deal with new problems with the methods learned
MAKING JUDGEMENTS: the ability to choose among the various methods learned the proper one to face new problems and radar design.
