Developing Digital RF Memories and Transceiver Technologies for Electromagnetic Warfare

Phillip E. Pace

This book is an invaluable resource for a wide range of readers, including students and professionals working in AI and machine learning (ML)-inspired engineering. It focuses on the design trade-offs involved in developing multiple, structured, false target synthesis digital RF memory (DRFM) architecture and provides guidance on developing counter-DRFM techniques and distinguishing false targets from real ones. The book covers various transceiver technologies for electromagnetic (EM) warfare, including the latest advancements, emerging trends, case studies and best practices. It is an essential guide for anyone who wants to stay current with the latest developments in EM warfare.

This book is unique in that it provides a detailed table of contents and 11 chapters that delve into various relevant topics. There is a huge demand for sensors on unmanned vehicles, with the network-enabled DRFM serving as the eyes and ears for defense personnel. This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 deals with embedded transceiver design and architecture development for EM spectrum dominance and maneuver warfare. Part 2 introduces the concepts and techniques of modern spectral sensing using AI and ML for emitter modulation classification and electronic attack for counter-targeting to interrupt the kill web. A final chapter is included on recent counter-DRFM techniques, discussing the methods used to defeat the DRFM. One key feature of this book is the available online resources, including MATLAB software on the Artech House website. Readers can use these resources to reproduce the results published in this book, including problem exercises to enhance their understanding of the material.

Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to stay ahead in the field of DRFM transceivers, ML and deep learning in EM warfare.
