A Perfect Reference for Digital RF Memories and Transceiver Technologies [Book/Software Reviews]

This book, "Developing Digital RF Memories and Transceiver Technologies to Electromagnetic Warfare", grew out of the author’s teaching and research in the field of microwave photonic transceiver design for electromagnetic warfare at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School. It has become evident that RF transceivers for digital RF memory (DRFM) are seeing an unprecedented level of growth in performance and capability. The book is divided into two parts. Part I (Chapters 1–7) is on the concept of embedded transceiver design and architecture development for electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) dominance and electromagnetic maneuver warfare. Part II (Chapters 8–11) introduces the concepts and techniques of modern spectral sensing using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for emitter modulation classification and electronic attack (EA) for countertargeting to interrupt the kill web. Special emphasis is placed on EA techniques to create false targets against high-range resolution profiling radar systems, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and inverse SAR. A final chapter is included on recent counter-DRFM techniques, discussing the methods used to defeat DRFM. The book also has online resources that include MATLAB software on the Artech House website. These resources can be used to reproduce many of the results in the book and provide exercises to enhance the learning of the material. This book is an encyclopedia of digital RF memory and transceiver technologies for electromagnetic warfare. It summarizes thousands of published articles in one book. The author gives detailed explanations, from very basic theorems to very advanced research work. The book is a perfect reference for research scientists and practicing engineers in the electronic warfare environment. Go get one for your bookshelf. It summarizes thousands of published articles in one book.
