Overthe past decade, new cutting-edge technologies have drastically changed the way radar and electronic warfare systems are implemented. This extensively revised and expanded edition of an Artech House bestseller delivers the most up-to-date overview of electronic defense systems. Bringing practitioners up-to-speed with the latest technological advances, the Third Edition details a completely new method of implementing these modern systems. Moreover, this edition is packed with updated illustrations of key assets, including aircraft, ships, and radars.
Readers get a solid understanding of how sophisticated electronic warfare weapon systems work, and how these weapons can be intercepted and electronically jammed. From search and tracking radar, IR systems, and communication systems...electronic intercept systems, countermeasures, and counter-countermeasures, the book explores a broad spectrum of defense equipment. It explains how these systems operate, the advantages and drawbacks of each system, and the theories on which these systems are based. This authoritative resource includes 180 illustrations and 400 equations that support key topics throughout the book.
Electronic Defense. Sensors. Weapon Systems. Electronic Intercept Systems. Electronic Countermeasures Systems. Electronic Counter-Countermeasures Systems. New Electronic Defense Techniques and Technologies. Design and Evaluation Criteria.
The first edition of the classic, Introduction to Electronic Defense Systems, was published in 1991, the second in 2006 and this, the 3rd, in 2018, thus clearly demonstrating the point author Filippo Neri makes about the increasing pace and impressive evolution of such technologies. The 3rd edition continues the pattern established in the earlier editions with the initial chapter providing an expanded overview of electronic defense systems and new concepts, threats and opportunities including cyber and Cyber Electromagnetic Activities. As such these 36 pages provide the context to understand the technological issues in the remaining 7 Chapters. Not unexpectedly, these are sometimes necessarily brief introductions to complex issues. However, besides providing context for what follows, they serve to whet the appetite of the reader and encourage further study. The up-to-date and comprehensive references complement this process well.
The chapter running order is Electronic Defense; Sensors; Weapon Systems; Electronic Intercept Systems, Electronic Countermeasure Systems; Electronic Counter-Countermeasure Systems; New Electronic Defense Techniques and Technologies, and Design and Evaluation Criteria. The author notes that formulas and mathematical theory have been reduced to a minimum; that may well have been the intent but the 3rd edition includes 180 illustrations and around 400 equations! The book remains very readable throughout, with excellent diagrams and explanations of everything covered by a true master in the field and a great communicator.
ARRL's Understanding Basic Electronics, second edition -- your gateway into the exciting world of electricity and electronics -- is written in a friendly, easy-to-understand style that beginners and nontechnical readers will enjoy. This introductory guide is ideal for students with basic math skills, as well as radio amateurs and experimenters interested in gaining a more complete understanding of basic electronic principles -- anyone eager to unlock the mysteries of electronic circuits.
Authored by Walter Banzhaf, WB1ANE, this new edition features student-friendly math made easy -- an inexpensive calculator is all you need -- and now includes digital electronics. Even if you already have a foundation in basic electronics, you will enjoy the small module format of each chapter, allowing readers to digest "bite-sized" chunks of learning material. Real-world examples and clear illustrations make the study of electronics interesting and fun! A handful of small "kitchen table" projects are included to help bring abstract concepts to life.
Understanding Basic Electronics, second edition includes chapters on electronics, analog and digital electronic circuits, electrical terms, conductors, insulators and resistors, electricity and magnetism, capacitors and inductors, electrical circuits (both series and parallel), Ohm's law, techniques and tricks on how to solve circuit problems, energy and power, alternating current (ac), capacitors and inductors, transformers, impedance, resonant active device concepts, semiconductors, diodes, transistors and ICs -- and much more.

Sweet songstress! whom the melancholy Muse
With more than fondness loved, for thee she strung
The lyre, on which herself enraptured hung,
And bade thee through the world its sweets diffuse.
Oft hath my childhood's tributary tear
Paid homage to the sad harmonious strain,
That told, alas! too true, the grief and pain
Which thy afflicted mind was doom'd to bear.
Rest, sainted spirit! from a life of woe,
And though no friendly hand on thee bestow
The stately marble, or emblazon'd name,
To tell a thoughtless world who sleeps below:
Yet o'er thy narrow bed a wreath shall blow,
Deriving vigour from the breath of fame!
Published in 1829, twenty-tree years after the death of Charlotte Turner Smith (1749-1806), this poem by the obscure poet Thomas Gent elegized the woman who was arguably the most important figure in the revival of the sonnet during the Romantic era in Great Britain, c. 1775-1835. Appropriately, Gent adopted the sonnet form for his tribute, in the process adding one more poem to the literally thousands of sonnets that had appeared in print in the wake of the first edition of Smith's Elegiac Sonnets (1), published in 1784. From a collection containing only sixteen sonnets when it first appeared, Smith's collection evolved during its author's lifetime through a sixteen-year sequence of editions - each displaying increasing technical, emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic sophistication - into two volumes whose nearly 250 pages finally included some 92 sonnets and nineteen "other poems" of various lengths.
Thomas Gent was not the only poet to appreciate Charlotte Smith's importance to English poetry, however. Following her death in 1806 dozens of tributary poems appeared in the periodical press and in subsequently published collections of verse alike. No less prominent a figure than William Wordsworth wrote in 1833 that Smith had been a poet "to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered."(2) By 1833 Wordsworth was himself already a "canonical" poet, having secured his enduring place in British literary history during the course of several decades that had in 1791 seen the then unknown young poet seeking out Smith for a letter of introduction to the expatriate author Helen Maria Williams before he traveled to France to observe the consequences of the French Revolution. By the middle of the twentieth century Wordsworth's judgment seemed to have been borne out, for Smith's name had virtually vanished from literary history and from the scholarship that records and shapes it. Neither acknowledged nor remembered by all but the very most specialized of scholars were not only the successive and ever-expanding editions of Elegiac Sonnets but also a series of important novels, writings for younger readers, translations from the French, and even a play. Indeed, during her literary career of just over twenty years, Smith published no fewer than 24 major works, totaling no fewer than seventy separate volumes.
Smith's ten novels were widely read and commented upon during her lifetime. They are remarkable exercises in social and political activism as well as engaging and "readable" narratives that employ the conventions of sentimental fiction in service to often radical ideology. Smith was widely perceived (and feared - or loathed) by her contemporaries as an effective advocate both of women's rights and of progressive politics in the years following the French Revolution. Her novels were freely pirated for editions published in Ireland and the United States, while many appeared in French translations.
Furthermore, Smith was an influential author of works for children, especially in areas like history and natural history. Smith's contemporary prominence as both a novelist and a poet is particularly significant, since most Romantic-era authors are not known for having achieved notable success in multiple genres. (Walter Scott is the most familiar exception, but both Smith and her well-known contemporary Mary Robinson enjoyed wide readerships in poetry, in fiction, and in non-fiction prose.)
