Biography

Clive Alabaster
	Cranfield University, DCMT Shrivenham, UK  Education: Clive Alabaster received his BSc degree in Physics with Microelectronics from University College Swansea, Wales, in 1985 and his PhD from Cranfield University, Shrivenham in 2004 on the Microwave Properties of Tissue and other Lossy Dielectrics. Accomplishments: From 1985 to 1992 he worked as a microwave design and development engineer on airborne radar systems with GEC Marconi, Milton Keynes, England.  From 1992 to 1998 he worked as a lecturer in radar techniques at Arborfield Garrison, near Reading, England.  He joined Cranfield University at the Defence College of Management & Technology, Shrivenham, in 1998 as a lecturer in the Radar Systems group within the Department of Informatics & Sensors.   He is a member of the Institute of Physics and is a Chartered Engineer.
Research Interests: All aspects of pulse Doppler radar, but specifically the optimization of precise values of PRF and other waveform design issues for medium PRF radar; radar waveforms for matched illumination and ATR purposes; radar applications for the accurate location of high speed projectiles; and the dielectric properties of materials and the measurement of permittivity, particularly in the millimetre wave band.
