In the chapter, the radar technology employed for providing high resolution target signatures for recognition purposes is presented. Of particular importance are the practical implementation issues for incorporating the techniques into real systems. Although some mathematics has inevitably had to be used to explain the concepts presented, emphasis has been placed on providing the reader with their physical interpretation. Both the technological and operational aspects of integrating NCTR modes are discussed.
