Introduction to Radar and EW

Instructor: Dr. Richard Wiley

Course Description: This course is designed to introduce the major concepts and
principles of radar using the simplied approach of the textbook. Major concepts of electronic
warfare are also introduced in a similar manner using the instructors own materials. The
participant gains a comprehensive understanding of the main ideas of both radar and EW
while the use of mathematics is kept to the minimum level required. The classic text is lav-
ishly illustrated and will serve as a valuable reference for years to come.

parameters; how to use DSP to obtain instantaneous AM, phase and frequency compo-
nents; practical DSP methods; and how to recognize and avoid mistakes. You will discover
the effects of noise, quantization, interference, and bandwidth.

interference, display techniques and additional areas are included. Directed primarily to
ELINT/EW engineers and scientists responsible for ELINT digital signal processing system
software and hardware design, installation, operation and evaluation, it is also appropriate
for those having management or technical responsibility.

Who is Research Associates of Syracuse (RAS)?
Research Associates of Syracuse (RAS) is a privately-held corporation with operations in
Syracuse, New York; Rome, New York; and Washington, D.C. RAS was founded by Robert
Shields and Dr. Richard Wiley, developers of the KILTING database in use today worldwide.
Dr. Wiley is the author of three ELINT textbooks considered to be the classic standard refer-
ences in the eld, and 20 technical papers. RAS has broad, in-depth experience in ELINT
and radar measurements and systems. RAS experience encompasses a wide array of
ELINT processes including sorting, track correlation, specic emitter identication, system
distortion, equalization, and compensation techniques as well as the EWIR and KILTING
databases. Radar experience includes basic radar phenomena; radar signal collection and
analysis; feature extraction algorithms and real-time hardware implementations. RAS is a
well-known leader and innovator in the world of signals intelligence. RAS is also active in
network-centric operations and warfare.
Why RAS?
RAS offers one of the best technical programs in ELINT, EW, and radar studies in the world.
We are EW, ELINT, and radar practitioners, involved in leading-edge research and practical
real-world applications of ELINT and radar. We understand the technology and we under-
stand how and when the technology is best applied.
RAS has been presenting technical courses since 1986 in the United States and in 20 other
countries. Customers include the U.S. Department of Defense, several DoD prime contrac-
tors, and many foreign entities. RAS courses are taught by highly-experienced, well-quali-
ed faculty who are deeply active in ELINT and radar development and analysis on a daily
basis. The caliber of the training behind every defense effort is paramount, and there is no
better training available than RAS courses.

gation, IFF & DF, and as USAF NAIC expert on foreign ESM/ECM systems.
What to Do in Syracuse?
Syracuse in the summertime is a well-kept secret. The city is large enough to have many
cultural activities, but small enough not to have trafc problems. The weather is great.
Syracuse is nestled between the Adirondack Mountains and the Finger Lakes, with a wide
assortment of spectacular scenery only a short drive away. Within 30 minutes, you can be
at the Finger Lakes. Within 90 minutes, you can be at Watkins Glen and Taughannock Falls,
two absolutely spectacular settings. Within two hours, you can be in the Adirondack Park or
cruising the Thousand Island region of the St. Lawrence River. Within two and a half hours,
you can be at Niagara Falls. And there are many other beautiful, but not well-known places
to visit. The opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful spots on earth is avail-
able while attending these RAS courses.
