About the Book

Bringing together in one volume the core information on a variety of electromagnetic techniques, EM Detection of Concealed Targets provides an introduction and reference to the methods of concealed target detection, which have significant application in homeland security. Filling the need for up-to-date information on the application of RF, microwave, millimeter and Terahertz wave technology for security and defense applications, the book is written from the equipment designer perspective, making it a valuable resource for program managers for Homeland Security, military researchers and developers, and program managers for security agencies, among many others.
