Radar and Electronic Warfare Principles for the Non-Specialist (Radar, Sonar and Navigation)

Our copy had the last chapters out of sequence, otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars

Fantastic book! In depth coverage if all the major topics but still easily absorbed by anyone with a technical background.

This book is very clearly written and provides relevant examples, figures, and problems to be worked on by the reader. It is the perfect book for anyone interested in the topic of Radar and Electronic Warfare and a must have as a handbook/reference on your bookshelf.

Horrible radar book. Doesn't prepare you for tougher radar courses at all. If you take a Paul Hannen radar course at Wright State University and move onto Modern Radar Theory you will be extremely disappointed with this book and his courses. If the purpose is to teach 5 year olds basic radar then this book serves it's purpose. If you are taking a course that requires graduate level knowledge this book will NOT help. Stick with Skolnik since it's widely respected and has all of the same material but with more in depth discussion. I'd also like to personally add that the small paragraph on matched filtering is a joke and needs total overhauling seeing is it's one of the most basic signal processing radar techniques and most important.

Paul’s book is excellent introduction for new engineers in the domain and provides a broad overview of the first principles governing radar and the many interdependencies the designer and user system parameters have in a radar. Readers with the requisite background (electrodynamics and DSP) should be able to cover the book fairly quickly (I read the radar portion, the first 7 chapters, in 2 weeks) and afterwards will be ready to delve into a more nuanced study of their area of interest. I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking to get up to speed up quickly.

This is a brilliant book on radar. By far the most accessible book on radar I've ever read. Complex subjects are dealt with very clearly with the absolute minimum of over complicated language. I've used this to help decipher more complicated texts and use it as a ready reference along with Stimsons Introduction to Airborne Radar. The Electronic Warfare chapter is particularly good.

Good well written textbook that Gaddon has adopted for it's ECM training courses. Well written and easy to find the appropriate information without being cluttered as some text books are. If you are entering the Radar or ECM worlds this is a good place to start.
