Foundations of Communications Electronic Warfare

Researcher and specialist Poisel addresses the theoretical as well as the practical side of electronic warfare (EW) as it applies to communication systems. With examples, illustrations, and algorithms he introduces professionals and students to the art of jamming, including its association with information theory and game theory, the mathematical underpinnings, including the algebras sets, the mathematical theory of probability, and random variables, the properties of signals and systems, including Fourier series, transmissions of signals through linear systems, and detection and estimation theory, digital communication systems, the association of information theory and EW, source coding, channel coating, jam are performance in difficult channels, jamming performance evaluation using dynamic and non-cooperative games, noise jamming, pulsed noise jamming, and tone jamming. He includes appendices on relevant functions and equations. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
