A bit more than an intro

First off this book had a lot of info and didn't go too far in terms of knowledge, however I had to look back at my old textbooks for a !ot of the basic RF concepts. Much more a reference than reading book.

برای آشنایی اولیه خوبه ولی برای تمرکز در موضوع مناسب نیست

Adamy's "EW 101" is a nifty introduction to electronic warfare. He has written this book as a general overview of EW terminology, notions, and concepts. He does not (obviously) provide any details about operational capabilities or tactics. The book is written for engineering professionals who are "nearby" EW in their work and want a qualitative introduction to the topic. I think anyone actively working EA or EP problems would already know much of the material. He does provide some quantitative examples of the link equation and the radar range equation but that's about it. His descriptions of EW models and simulations, while correct, do not conform to accepted DoD standard definitions. This is a great book, interesting and fun to read. Recommended.

Adamy's book series on Electronic Warfare is a good reference to have for those in the EW arena (military/civilian/contractor). EW 101 is a great introduction to topics such as electronic jamming and the holy trinity of electronic attack, electronic support and electronic protection (EA/ES/EP).

The equations are low-level algebra and are good for academic examples (I can't vouch for verification in "real-world" applications)

Only downside is the price - you might feel a bit ripped off from a $100 book. If you're new to the field of EW, its worth the price.

Obviously, Adamy "wrote the book" on EW. I have also attended his short course, which I recommend. I just really HATE the way he deals with units. From an engineering perspective, formulas should NEVER be multiplier specific/dependent- IOW, we should just use SI instead of worrying about whether a value is, for example, in milliwatts or watts.

Looking for a treatment of EW built from first principles? This is NOT that book. Lots of equations to memorize for YOUR specific situation. Add to this characteristic the fact that the book jumps around a bit and you can get lost and find yourself solving someone else's problem.

It really helps if you have an Amatuer Radio license before you read this book. It is the real deal if you are interested in the physical aspects of radio security.

Reads like most text books. But it does give you a good overview of a lot of information. Don't use the equations from the book to do anything with because they are overly simplified.
