This book/CD-ROM package can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate students in electrical engineering and physics, and reference for practitioners in radar and digital intercept receiver design. It outlines essentials of low probability of intercept (LPI) radar design, provides details on new OTHR modulation schemes, and demonstrates four intercept receiver signal processing techniques for LPI radar detection. B&w photos and illustrations on almost every page aid comprehension. Part I covers LPI radar and waveform design concepts, and can be used for a course in LPI radar systems design. Part II covers intercept receiver time-frequency and bifrequency signal processing techniques that can extract the wideband waveform parameters. This part of the book can be used for a course in noncooperative detection and classification of these types of emitters. Chapter exercises, many relying on MATLAB, are included. About 120 pages of reference and background appendices are also included, along with a glossary and a list of symbols. The CD-ROM contains MATLAB programs for designing various LPI emitter architectures and waveform modulations and for determining the best signal processing techniques for identifying the LPI emitter modulation. This second edition covers new topics such as random noise radar waveforms, the Choi-Williams time-frequency analysis of LPI waveforms, and frequency hopping waveforms. Pace is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School.
