Artech House Publishers EW 101: A First Course in Electronic Warfare

This text book gave a great overview into what's happening in Electronic War and how it is done. I liked it. The book provided the analytic formulas to perform gain calculations without being overdependent on the mathematics to understand the basics. The book covered Radar Warning Receivers (RWR) which I'd had no experience with and provided a clear explanation of how they work and what technical parameters are important. I've worked in the industry for a while, but I wished I'd read this 10 years earlier.

This is a good introduction to the topic and a handy reference. I use this book on an almost daily basis for my job.

I really enjoyed this book and found it incredibly useful in my job, which does not require an in depth knowledge of EW. My background is a BS in mechanical engineer and graduated a little over a year ago. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that has to work with EW or even just radar. Although the book it steered towards EW, many radar concepts are explained.

Gives a great start in understanding EW.
