Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
This is a comprehensive update of the bestselling reference for those who need to learn about radar but have no previous experience.
This enhanced and fully revised fourth edition of
Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-specialist includes five all new sections on electronic warfare and its relationship with radar systems and distills the very complex technologies of radar and electronic warfare into their fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. It also includes significant revisions to: target signal-to-noise ratio, target detection theory, array antennas, radar measurements and tracking, and target signatures. The advanced radar concepts chapter has also been revised, including the addition of a section on modern multi-function, -mode, -mission radar systems. In addition, there is new EW-related material addressing electronic support (ES), electronic attack (EA), and electronic protection (EP). Most of the chapters are stand-alone allowing the reader to be selective and still benefit from the content.
Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-specialist is ideal for senior level graduates and can be used as a self-study text for engineers who have no previous radar or EW knowledge or experience.

Synopsis
This book presents a comprehensive set of radar and electronic warfare principles including many of the latest applications in a clear and consistent manner.
Following on from the 3rd edition of this book (2004) Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-specialist, 4th Edition, remains true to the traditional strength of the book, providing radar principles for the non-specialist, and also now introducing EW principles. All radar-related material has been reviewed, revised and enhanced as necessary.
New to this edition:
- Significant revisions to; target signal-to-noise ratio, target detection theory, array antennas, radar measurements and tracking, and target signatures
- The addition of new EW-related material addressing electronic support (ES), electronic attack (EA), and electronic protection (EP)
- The advanced radar concepts chapter has been revised, including the addition of a section on modern multi-function, -mode, -mission radar systems.
- Most of the chapters are stand-alone allowing the reader to be selective and still benefit from the content.
- Exercises at the end of each chapter are provided to reinforce the concepts presented and illustrate their applications, making this book ideal for academic learning, training courses or self-study.
Topics covered include: electromagnetic propagation, target detection, antennas, measurements and tracking, radar cross section and system applications.
By reading this book, you should expect to be able to conduct a respectable, first-order radar system design or analysis and perform a first-order EW system design or analysis. This book will also provide you with the skills to critique the designs or analysis of others.
Synopsis
but this new edition now includes the fundamentals of electronic warfare (EW) as well. This book distills the very complex, rich technologies of radar and EW into its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. This should be the first book selected to provide a solid foundation in both radar and electronic warfare. Readers with a technical or business degree should be well prepared to understand the vast majority of concepts in this book as they are mathematically represented using algebra. Some concepts use trigonometry and a very select few use calculus. It is written specifically for those with little or no knowledge of radar and EW technologies.
