Digital Techniques for Wideband Receiversis widely recognized as the definitive design guide on digital processing work with todays complex receiver systems. This third edition brings readers up-to-date with the latest information on wideband electronic warfare receivers, and includes new chapters on the detection of FM and BPSK radar signals, analog-to-information, time-reversal filter, monobit receivers with improved instantaneous dynamic range and it offers insights on building electronic warfare receivers. From fundamental concepts and procedures, to recent technology advances in digital receivers, readers get practical solutions to important wideband receiver problems.
This book has been updated with many of the latest concepts to help users design receivers that are relevant for todays electronic warfare systems. It will be an ideal reference for defense digital signal processing engineers, in government and industry.Introduction Requirements and Characteristics of EW Receivers Continuous-Time Fourier Transform and Discrete-Time Fourier Transform Fourier Transform Related Operations Analog-to-Digital Converters, Amplifiers, and their Interfaces Frequency Downconverters and I/Q channel receiver Sensitivity and Detection Problems Phase Measurements and Zero Crossing Monobit Receiver Frequency Channelization and Afterwards Processing High-Resolution Spectrum Estimation Detection of a biphase shift keying (BPSK) signal Detection of FM Signals Analog-to-Information (A to I) Conception Angle of Arrival Measurements Time Reversal Filters Encoder Example: Multiple FFT Receiver Receiver Tests
