Target Acquisition in Communication Electronic Warfare Systems

by Richard Poisel

Overview

This cutting-edge resource arms you with the full array of traditional methods and modern high-resolution techniques for acquiring communications targets. The book enables you to develop optimum methods for acquiring communications targets for exploitation or countermeasures. Additionally, you learn how to establish the optimum techniques for detection of deterministic signals with random parameters as well as stochastic signals. Whether you design or operate EW systems, you can turn to this guide to measure how effectively your EW systems cope in crowded RF environments.
