This is a reference work for EW engineers which is also intended for university use in advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses in EW, radar, and aerospace systems. This text reviews the fundamental concepts and physical principles underlying EW receiving systems design analysis, and performance evaluation. The main discussion focuses on radar signals in military applications.

Based on the author's research at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, this resource offers antenna, communications and radar engineers an in-depth description of adaptive antenna and phased array design, emphasizing RF characteristics and field testing methods.

This is an advanced practitioner's guide to current concepts and threats associated with modern electronic warfare (EW). It identifies and explains the newest radar communications threats, and provides practical, how-to information on designing and implementing ECM and ECCM systems. The aim of the text is to help the reader develop ESM systems designed specifically to exploit the vulnerabilities of modern radar. It also identifies and evaluates ESM receiving equipment, and outlines advanced ECM methods, including monopulse deception, coherent radar jamming, and high-ERP generation. Other sections cover modern ECCM countermeasure techniques, the impact of new stealth technology on ESM and ECM requirements, and jammer upgrading procedures.

Compiles the latest techniques for those who design advanced systems for tracking, surveillance and navigation. This second volume expands upon the first with 11 new chapters. The text includes pertinent contributions from leading international experts in this field.

This book constitutes a multidisciplinary introduction to the analysis of air defence systems. It supplies the tools to carry out independent analysis. Individual sections deal with threat missions, observability, manoeuvrability and vulnerability. With the support of several examples, the text illustrates 12 air defence process models. These models form the foundation for any air defence system analysis, covering initial detection to kill assessment.

With this book practitioners responsible for analyzing, specifying or evaluating RCS imaging systems will be able to define performance limits using basic physical and mathematical principles. Information on instrumentation systems for acquiring data and two new chapters on applications of new techniques are included. The emphasis of the book is on imaging as applied to radar cross-section measurements. With it the reader will learn how to use the latest techniques to perform RCS imaging in laboratory or outdoor test ranges. This book is suitable for self-study or for use in a short course for practising engineers.
