Radars and related technologies can be safely termed as game-changer in modern defense. Extremely vital air superiority paradigm is rapidly transforming into the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum superiority challenge. Traditionally, radar related technologies have been considered the domain of RF engineers. However, in the age of Software Defined Radios (SDR), the signal processing has revolutionized the way radars are done. Professor Aamer Iqbal Bhatti and his colleagues have been at the forefront of this development in the third world. The talk not only tells you this two-decade long story of indigenous radar development rather it also takes a bird eye view of the issues in radar signal processing.
