Elint: The Interception And Analysis of Radar Signals

Here ELINT, or electronic intelligence, is the result of observing the signals transmitted to radar systems to obtain information about their capacities. In other words, it is the remote sensing of remote sensors. Expert Wiley covers the latest technologies, first defining electronic intelligence and giving its capabilities and limitations and then covering ELINT implications of range equations and radar constraints, characteristics of ELINT interception systems, the probability of intercept, antennas and direction finders, emitter locations, estimation of power at the transmitter, antenna parameters, "low probability of intercept" (LPI) radar and ELINT, antenna scan analysis, intrapulse analysis, pulse repetition interval analysis, deinterleaving pulse trains, measurement and analysis of carrier frequency, determining ELINT parameter limits, and working with ELINT data files. Wiley includes over 240 illustrations. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
