Target Acquisition in Communication Electronic Warfare Systems (Artech House Information Warfare Library)

Radio communications plays an increasingly critical and growing role in today's electronic battlefield. Because more and more radio signals are deployed in electronic warfare (EW) situations, determining which ones are friendly and which are enemy has become more difficult and crucial. This book arms defense systems designers and operators with the full array of traditional search mechanisms and advanced high-resolution techniques for targeting radio signals deployed in electronic warfare. An invaluable technical reference, the book helps professionals fully understand the tradeoffs involved in designing EW target acquisition systems with less time and effort. Moreover, practitioners learn how to establish optimum methods for acquiring communication targets for exploitation or countermeasures. The book also serves as an excellent text for graduate courses in electronic warfare.

this Aspect Of Communications Electronic Warfare Consists Primarily Of Determining The Presence Of Signals At Particular Frequencies And Determining Whether Or Not They Are Targets. Poisel, A Senior Engineering Fellow At Raytheon Missile Systems, Explains The Science Behind This Discipline, Including The Deterministic And Stochastic Signal Processes And Their Detection. He Describes Target Search Methods And Testing For Signal Detection, Estimating Spectrum And Target Parameters, Artificial Reasoning For Target Identification, And Resource Allocation. The Appendices Describe Lagrange Multipliers And Convex Functions. Each Chapter Includes References. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, Or
