Describing the mathematical development underlying current and classical methods of geolocating
electronic systems that are emitting, this newly revised and greatly expanded edition of a classic
Artech House book offers practical guidance in electronic warfare target location. The Second Edition
features a wealth of additional material including new chapters on time delay estimation, direction
finding techniques, and the MUSIC algorithm. This practical resource provides you with critical design
information on geolocation algorithms, and establishes the fundamentals of existing algorithms as a
launch point for further algorithm development. You gain an in-depth understanding of key target
location methods that you can effectively apply to your work in the field. You discover triangulation
algorithms that offer a highly efficient way to geolocate targets when the real estate on the sensor
systems is adequate to support an antenna array. The book also presents quadratic geolocation
techniques that can be implemented with extremely modest antennasfrequently a single dipole or
monopole. Moreover, this authoritative volume details methods for geolocating the source of high
frequency signals with a single sensor site.
