Microwave Passive Direction Finding by Stephen E. Lipsky Pdf

Microwave Passive Direction Finding unifies direction finding (DF) theory and brings together into a single source wide-ranging information on the technology of measuring the direction-of-arrival of microwave signals. Throughout the material, there is authoritative information useful to preparing a detailed technical proposal for new business that has been compiled from many years of defense industry presentations, reports, and systems development. Diagrams and photographs of state-of-the-art equipment depict the methods discussed, and equations and charts facilitate a "hands-on" approach to calculating system performance. The book also presents rarely published systems concepts, such as digital preprocessing, supercommutation, and wide RF bandwidth signal detection methods. Specific sections cover evolution and use of monopulse passive DF receiver theory, design of antenna elements for conformal DF coverage, receiver configurations, DF antenna arrays, interferometer DF techniques, computation methods for signal detection, probability of detection, accuracy of DF systems, and signal processing and display methods. More than any book on this technology, Microwave Passive Direction Finding anticipates the questions that arise in the DF design process. The chapters are organized to stand alone, making the book useful as a text/reference for the practicing engineer. At the same time, the material is organized inductively, so that it can be used for a college or seminar text.

Electronic Warfare Receivers and Receiving Systems by Richard A. Poisel Pdf

Receivers systems are considered the core of electronic warfare (EW) intercept systems. Without them, the fundamental purpose of such systems is null and void. This book considers the major elements that make up receiver systems and the receivers that go in them. This resource provides system design engineers with techniques for design and development of EW receivers for modern modulations (spread spectrum) in addition to receivers for older, common modulation formats. Each major module in these receivers is considered in detail. Design information is included as well as performance tradeoffs of various components. Major factors that influence the functioning of the modules are identified and discussed. Key performance parameters are identified as well, and approaches to achieving design goals are considered.

Introduction to Adaptive Arrays by Robert A. Monzingo,Thomas W. Miller Pdf

Introduction to Adaptive Arrays serves as an introduction to the subject of adaptive sensor systems whose principle purpose is to enhance the detection and reception of certain desired signals. The field of array sensor systems is now a maturing technology. With applications of these systems growing more and more numerous, there is a wealth of widely scattered literature on various aspects of such systems. Unfortunately, few books attempt to provide an integrated treatment of the entire system that gives the reader the perspective to organize the available literature into easily understood parts. Intended for use both as a graduate level textbook and as a reference work for engineers, scientists, and systems analysts, this book provides such an integrated treatment by emphasizing the principles and techniques that are of fundamental importance in modern adaptive array systems.

Seeing Invisible by Pavlo A. Molchanov Pdf

This book provides a simple explanation of existing antenna arrays, their advances and limitations. It will lead you to nature-inspired next generation antenna array design and their advances. Why antenna arrays? Because antennas or antenna arrays are the primary element in any sensory system or circuit. Any artificial intellect, computer, vision, communication, or detection system cannot work properly without a properly designed sensor system or antenna array. They include not only technical areas like communication, navigation and radars, but also health care, medical imaging and even amateur metal detectors and RC vehicle design. Taking into account today’s military and geo-political threats, the book will also help you understand the functional needs of the new generation of antenna arrays for various radar and anti-missile systems to meet those threats. It also covers the evolution of antennas and antenna array design and gives insight into the fundamental function and advances of nature inspired new generation, fly eye antenna arrays and their applications. This book is intended for a wide area of readers and does not require special education, but it is a valuable resource for engineers and technicians who are involved in the design and development of all space communication and navigation systems, and drones, and hypersonic missiles detection systems, with special emphasis on interference immunity and protection. It also can be used as a textbook in advanced radar technology coursework and seminars.

RF and Microwave Passive and Active Technologies by Mike Golio,Janet Golio Pdf

In the high frequency world, the passive technologies required to realize RF and microwave functionality present distinctive challenges. SAW filters, dielectric resonators, MEMS, and waveguide do not have counterparts in the low frequency or digital environment. Even when conventional lumped components can be used in high frequency applications, their behavior does not resemble that observed at lower frequencies. RF and Microwave Passive and Active Technologies provides detailed information about a wide range of component technologies used in modern RF and microwave systems. Updated chapters include new material on such technologies as MEMS, device packaging, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, bipolar junction and heterojunction transistors, and high mobility electron transistors (HMETs). The book also features a completely rewritten section on wide bandgap transistors.
