Electronic Warfare: Receivers and Receiving Systems
Richard A. PoiselReview: Dr. Lee

The biggest challenge to writing any book on electronic warfare (EW) is to give an in-depth review of the important concepts and developments without divulging classified information. This book, sizable as it is, gives the reader who is or is intending to work in the area of electronic warfare relevant information while still remaining unclassified. All of the topics discussed can be found in the open literature but the author has saved readers a lot of browsing and search time by including the most important ones. Readers requiring more specialized or in-depth discussion may find that this type of information is not publicly available. Due to its size, there is a lot in this book to absorb, but no doubt readers who decide to commit to its study will not read it in its entirety but will instead topics of interest to them.
Radio receivers of course are noisy entities, and the different noise contributions to receiver electronics are revealed quantitatively in this book, using primarily only elementary mathematical tools, instead of using the full theory of stochastic processes. That the level of mathematical details is kept at an
