Radar Warning Receivers Fundamentals

Course Description

The course covers an introduction to the basics in radar warning receivers (RWR), the background of radar phenomenology, and detectable radar waveforms from various radar systems. You’ll understand how to determine system performance, as well as gain an understanding of the standard types of RWR receivers and receiver combinations used in actual systems. RWR antennas and pilot-vehicle interface will be discussed relative to trades required in RWR system design.
