Principles of Radar: An Introduction

by Dr. Chris Allen

These captioned videos are the components of a 1 hour presentation by Dr. Allen on the topic of Radar, presented June 15, 2004 at the University of Kansas to a group of visiting undergraduates.

The movies are available in two formats. The first has both voice and captions and is of higher quality. The second is captioned, but has no voice and is slightly smaller. Size of each is shown in parentheses next to the title.
