Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-Specialist


Book Description

This is a comprehensive update of the bestselling reference for those who need to learn about radar but have no previous experience. This enhanced and fully revised fourth edition of Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-specialist includes five all new sections on electronic warfare and its relationship with radar systems and distills the very complex technologies of radar and electronic warfare into their fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. It also includes significant revisions to: target signal-to-noise ratio, target detection theory, array antennas, radar measurements and tracking, and target signatures. The advanced radar concepts chapter has also been revised, including the addition of a section on modern multi-function, -mode, -mission radar systems. In addition, there is new EW-related material addressing electronic support (ES), electronic attack (EA), and electronic protection (EP). Most of the chapters are stand-alone allowing the reader to be selective and still benefit from the content. Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-specialist is ideal for senior level graduates and can be used as a self-study text for engineers who have no previous radar or EW knowledge or experience.

An Introduction to Electronic Warfare; from the First Jamming to Machine Learning Techniques


Book Description

Since its creation at the beginning of World II, radars have forever transformed the practice of modern warfare. The evolution of countermeasure conducted by electronic warfare systems against radars and radars’ corresponding counter countermeasures is an intriguing technical subject. This book provides a very accessible introduction to a broad range of radar and electronic warfare technologies. The subjects covered in this book range from early radar development to later technologies such as stealthy techniques, low probability of intercept radar, and machine learning. Historical events are used to illustrate the principles of electronic warfare and to help readers to apprehend contexts under which radars and corresponding electronic warfare techniques were developed.




Communications, Radar and Electronic Warfare


Book Description

A practical guide to the principles of radio communications for both civilian and military applications In this book, the author covers both the civilian and military uses of technology, focusing particularly on the applications of radio propagation and prediction. Divided into two parts, the author introduces the basic theory of radio prediction before providing a step-by-step explanation of how this theory can be translated into real-life applications. In addition, the book presents up-to-date systems and methods to illustrate how these applications work in practice. This includes systems working in the HF bands and SHF. Furthermore, the author examines the performance of these systems, and also the effects of noise, interference and deliberate jamming, as well as the performance of jamming, detection and intercept systems. Particular attention is paid to the problems caused by Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIEDs). Key Features: A practical handbook on the topic of radio communications and propagation Written by an expert in both the civilian and military applications of the technology Focuses on methods such as radio and radar jamming, and radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) Contains problems and solutions to clarify key topics




Information Warfare and Electronic Warfare Systems


Book Description

Information warfare is emerging as the new war fighting paradigm of the U.S. and many of its allies. This book is the first in the field to address communication electronic warfare (EW) systems in the context of information warfare. Authored by a recognized leading authority, the book includes a unique formulation of EW system performance and presents results of system simulations that have not appeared previously in any related literature. Essential reading for EW engineers and researchers working in defense, aerospace, and military capacities, the book explores the properties of information, the properties of information communication means, information theory, EW system architectures, and two operational simulations, one in Northeast Asia and the other in urban terrain.




RF Electronics for Electronic Warfare


Book Description

This exciting new resource investigates the function of RF communication in electronic warfare systems. The book provides in-depth coverage of how RF signals must be constructed to perform jamming missions, which prevent a receiver from properly extracting a target signal. Technical descriptions of oscillators and modulators, which generate the RF signals, are presented and explored. Power supplies that generate adequate power for fueling high power amplifiers are also described and their operations investigated. Oscillator basics, including principles of oscillator operation, phase locked loop synthesizers and direct digital synthesis are examined. Fundamentals of RF communications, including power supplies for RF power amplifiers, are included, making it useful for both novice and advanced practitioners. Written by a prominent expert in the field, this authoritative book is the first available that combines the topics of electronic warfare and oscillator design and analysis.
