Radar and EW Modeling in MATLAB® and Simulink®

by Carlos A Davila (Author), Glenn D Hopkins (Author), Gregory A Showman (Author) 

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(R) and Simulink(R) are presented and discussed in detail. The book 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 effects on radar performance are explored.
