Radar and EW Modeling in MATLAB and Simulink

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques used in radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems. It covers the three "pillars" of EW: Electronic Attack (EA) systems, Electronic Protection (EP) techniques, and Electronic Support (ES). Example models are developed in MATLAB and Simulink and combined to create a full end-to-end engineering engagement simulation between a pulse-Doppler radar and a target. Classic EA techniques are introduced and modeled, and the effects on radar performance are explored. The book is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and managers involved in the design, development, or testing of radar and EW systems.

This comprehensive resource provides an in-depth exploration of the three fundamental pillars of electronic warfare (EW): electronic attack (EA) systems, electronic protection (EP) techniques, and electronic support (ES). It delves into the realm of modern radar and electronic warfare systems, developing advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques to simulate their behavior. The book begins by introducing radar principles, including the radar equation, and explores various M&S techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations, finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods, and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

Example models developed in MATLAB and Simulink are presented and discussed in detail, showcasing the application of these techniques to real-world scenarios. These individual models are then combined to create a comprehensive end-to-end engineering engagement simulation between a pulse-Doppler radar and a target. The radar-target engagement model is extended to incorporate jamming models, illustrating the intricate interplay between radar and jamming signals and their impact on radar detection and tracking.

Furthermore, the book introduces several classic EA techniques and models their effects on radar performance, shedding light on the strategies employed by adversaries to degrade radar capabilities. This resource is invaluable for engineers, scientists, and managers involved in the design, development, or testing of radar and EW systems. It offers a comprehensive overview of the M&S techniques employed in these systems, backed by numerous examples and case studies that demonstrate their practical applications. By leveraging the insights provided in this book, professionals can enhance their understanding of the complexities of radar and EW systems and develop more effective and resilient solutions to meet the ever-evolving challenges of modern warfare.
