Introduction to Sensors for Ranging and Imaging

Graham Michael Brooker has nearly thirty years in radar research and development. His work includes a broad range of subjects from systems engineering and developing RF components to writing software for radar and EW applications; developing new millimetre wave radar sensors for mining applications. His MSC was completed in 1983; he later completed his PhD. Before emigrating to Australia, he ran a laboratory that developed millimetre wave radar systems for both defense and commercial clients. Dr. Brooker has spent the last eight years developing and lecturing the Sensors and Signals course at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics in the University of Sydney. Also, he has presented more than 40 conference papers, various book chapters,as well as writing more than half a dozen journal papers.
