This is the only book focused on the complete aspects of RF Stealth
design. It is the first book to present and explain first order methods
for the design of active and passive stealth properties. Everything from
Electronic Order of Battle to key component design is covered. The book
is a 'How to' reference, allowing estimation of RCS, emitter
interceptability, IR signature with speed, emitter footprints, terrain
obscuration and target visibility, ambient spectra, ambient pulse
density, detection performance, antenna, filter and pulse compression
sidelobes, emitter location accuracy, stealthy pulse compression design,
stealthy antenna design, signal processor performance, and more. Unique
compilations of the leading parameters of many emitters and interceptors
are included, as is analytical software for each chapter. Stealth was a
major military breakthrough very much in today's news. Though the author
has been pioneering modern stealth techniques since 1975, necessary
requirements of security has kept this material from becoming widely
known. The book's purpose is to provide a new generation of designers
with a firm and proven basis for new developments and to allow buyers of
stealth technology to separate the charlatans from serious engineers.
Key features of this book include the fact that there is no competing
title on the market; this will be the standard text for years to come.
All analysis is presented on a first order basis: simplest approach, use
of approximations, intuitive reasoning, many examples. The book's
practical 'How to' approach incorporates recipes and examples for
estimation of critical performance parameters. Includes 368 figures, 74
tables, 328 equations and 108 items of analytical software.
