RADAR
This resource covers basic concepts and examples for the modeling and simulation (M&S) of
modern radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems and reviews radar principles, including
the radar equation. M&S techniques are introduced, and example models developed in
MATLAB
®
and Simulink
®
are presented and discussed in detail. These individual models
are combined to create a full end-to-end engineering engagement simulation between a
pulse-Doppler radar and a target. The book then reviews fundamentals and modeling
examples for the three pillars of EW: electronic attack (EA) systems, electronic protection
(EP) techniques, and electronic support (ES). The radar-target engagement model is
extended to include jamming models and is used to illustrate the interaction between radar
and jamming signals and the impact on radar detection and tracking. In addition, several
classic EA techniques are introduced and modeled, and the eects on radar performance
are explored. This book is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and managers who
are involved in the design, development, or testing of radar and EW systems. It provides
a comprehensive overview of the M&S techniques that are used in these systems, and the
book’s many examples and case studies provide a solid foundation for understanding
how these techniques can be applied in practice.
