Artech House Fundamentals of Electronic Warfare (Radar Library)

Look to this informative new reference for an in-depth, comprehensive treatment of the principles of electronic warfare (EW). Written by leading experts in the field, this authoritative book takes a systematic approach to exploring EW theory, mathematical models, and quantitative analysis. You get a detailed examination of the basic targets of EW operations, a thorough presentation of critical radar jamming methods, and definitions of the effectiveness criteria for EW systems and techniques. Key areas covered include mathematical models for active, passive and active-passive jamming signals; jamming methods based on the use of false radar and thermal targets; the effectiveness of specific jamming methods; a mathematical definition of electronic antiaircraft defense systems as targets; and the reduction of radar detectibility. Packed with 900 equations over 320 illustrations, this is an essential resource for practitioners and academics interested in the development and application or radio electronic systems for military and civilian use.
