Receivers for electronic warfare and electronic counter measures
The purpose of this course is that trainees understand the conception, behavior and performances of EW receivers.
The course lasts 5 days (30 hours).
More than 20 % of the time is dedicated to applications examples.
This course lets you understand concepts central to EW. It is shared in 3 tutorials on:
- Basic principles
- Measure and Counter Measures Receivers
- Information Processing
It delivers a basic working knowledge of the concepts and the techniques deployed in today and near future EW systems.
Level: Basic/Improvement
The course is dedicated to engineers with a basic knowledge of analog and digital signal processing. It is required to have some knowledge of conventional receiving techniques.
