Research services and uncompromising instruction
Radar School provides specialised research services and direct instruction in radar systems, remote sensing, and advanced electromagnetics. The aim is to move past surface level trivia toward the actual equations, hardware architectures, and signal processing needed to build and deploy real sensor solutions, and the instruction goes as deep as the mathematics and the physics allow.
Every topic is worked through five ways, namely theory, examples, applications, code, and hardware.
Join the regular 1% challenge
Frequent application oriented quiz tests engineering intuition and is the visible one percent of the material. The remaining ninety nine percent comes through classes, consulting, and research collaboration. Follow the page for the challenge, and connect to go deeper.
Articles
Finished articles, archived here as they are published. New pieces appear as the work and the ideas arise, in no fixed order, so this is a growing collection rather than a numbered course.
Radar Still Runs the World, Quietly
The radar systems behind aviation, weather, defence, and remote sensing work mostly out of sight, and the field remains quietly indispensable.
Stealth Is Not a Property
Low observability is a system condition rather than a coating, set by geometry, materials, frequency, and the engagement itself.
Why Multi-Sensor Fusion Is a Phrase That Often Does Not Work
Fusing radar, EO, IR, RF, and acoustic data is harder than the phrase suggests, and the failure modes are usually in the assumptions rather than the algorithms.
Stare, Don't Spin
Choosing a radar for a city's sky, and why a staring array can beat a spinning dish for persistent low-altitude surveillance.
From Electricity to the First Echo
The electrical science and wave physics that radar grew out of, from Volta and Faraday through Maxwell and Hertz to the first detections by Bose and Hulsmeyer, and the much older mathematics sitting underneath all of it.
From Long Waves to the Cavity Magnetron
How the scattered physics of radio detection was turned into a working instrument across the 1930s and 1940s, the device that pushed it down to microwave wavelengths, the economies that paid for it, and where the word radar came from.
From Matched Filters to Weather Satellites
How radar matured by drawing on probability, communications, optics, and materials science, why a name built on a principle outlasts a name built on a design choice, and how the field returned its advances to aviation, weather, astronomy, and Earth observation.
