Practical Esm Analysis

by Sue Robertson (Author)

Written by a prominent expert in the field, this authoritative resource considers radar parameters and how they affect ESM systems. It describes the ESM environment, including types of radar, pulse density, the latest radar developments and how they will be seen by ESM systems. Different types of ESM systems are described, with methods of calculation of Direction of Arrival (DOA) of pulses. Conventional wisdom about RF scan strategies for narrow-band receivers will be challenged and new methods (proven to be effective in trials) will be proposed. The book describes ESM Antenna separation, which plays a significant part in the generation of DOA errors, with examples of the effects for different situations

Written by a prominent expert in the field, this authoritative resource considers radar parameters and how they affect ESM systems. It describes the ESM environment, including types of radar, pulse density, the latest radar developments and how they will be seen by ESM systems. Different types of ESM systems are described, with methods of calculation of Direction of Arrival (DOA) of pulses. Conventional wisdom about RF scan strategies for narrow-band receivers will be challenged and new methods (proven to be effective in trials) will be proposed. The book describes ESM Antenna separation, which plays a significant part in the generation of DOA errors, with examples of the effects for different situations. The book will explain the common phenomena seen in ESM systems with many examples of how to recognize issues in the ESM data and solutions for their mitigation. Techniques for visualizing ESM data and how to set up ESM trials will be given, including the simulation of the electromagnetic environment. The book also presents detailed calculations for generating emitter beam-shapes for use in simulations of pulse trains and the calculation of detection range will be useful for data analysts, trials engineers and system assessors, which are not published elsewhere. The identification of radars by ESM systems is considered in detail with ideas presented on how to generate an effective radar library. –Stevo's Book Reviews on the Internet

Practical ESM Analysis comes from an expert in the field of electronic warfare and discusses radar parameters and how they affect ESM systems. Military and engineering holdings alike will benefit from the discussions contrasting different kinds of ESM systems, calculations, scanning strategies, error generation under different conditions, and examples of how to recognize data issues and their solutions. Calculations for use in simulations and data analysis are accompanied by graphs, charts, and calculations that receive important visual embellishment and discussion. The detailed calculations and formulas craft an analysis that is key to any student of ESM applications in a reference highly recommended for technical reference collections. –Midwest Book Review
