ELECTRONIC WARFARE SIGNAL PROCESSING

Written by a prominent expert in the field, this authoritative resource presents anti-ship missile (ASM) electronic protection (EP) techniques designed to enhance accurate target classification currently being developed by various nations around the world. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to modern electronic warfare (EW) in an era of information warfare (IW). It explores the capabilities of coherent radar and digital signal processing to rapidly and accurately classify targets. Both naval and air EW are covered in this resource. This book offers insight into modern EW as an information battle and includes guidance on properly testing the effectiveness of electronic attack (EA) systems.

Pulsed Doppler radar basics are explained with details about electromagnetic pulse, dynamic range, gain control, and Doppler effects. A summary of the ASM sensor and EA model is provided and readers find valuable coverage of the radar range equation, burn through, and the range Doppler map and imaging. This book is packed with information about extended target classifications including false targets, decoys, and chaff. Special EP waveforms, probe EP waveforms, and multiple receiver EP are also discussed. The book presents algorithms to optimize combining multiple parameters and systems. Moreover, it explains several algorithms proposed by PRC personnel to implement optimal two-channel processing that mitigates cover noise EA.
