FROM THE PUBLISHER
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 detectability. Packed with 900 equations and over 320 illustrations, this is an essential resource for practitioners and academics interested in the development and application of radio electronic systems for military and civilian use.
SYNOPSIS
A complete discussion of the fundamental aspects of electronic warfare, featuring accounts of its use in several major conflicts. Includes coverage of targets of electronic warfare, electronic warfare effectiveness criteria, mathematical models of signals, systems and techniques for electronics jamming, and other major topics. DLC: Electronics in military engineering.
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Presents fundamentals of electronic warfare (EW) based on systems methodology. Mathematical models of electronic systems viewed as EW targets are presented, including mathematical models of an optimum detector and radar tracker, models for optimum reception in radio communications systems and radio navigation, and models of recognition schemes. Mathematical models of automated systems for the control of antiaircraft defense forces and weapons as EW targets are presented using the methods of the mass service theory and the theory of automated control systems. Models of jamming signals are developed using the methods of information theory and statistical radio technology. There is also information on calculation of jamming corridors, and jamming methods based on use of false targets. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
