Overview

Basic Electromagnetic Warfare Modeling

Course Description

In the Basic Electromagnetic Warfare Modeling course, you will develop techniques for modeling and simulation (M&S) of radio-frequency (RF) electronic warfare (EW) systems. You will be introduced to the three “pillars” of EW: Electronic Attack (EA) systems, Electronic Protection (EP) techniques, and Electronic Support (ES). An EW engagement model will be developed to illustrate the interaction between radar and jamming signals and the impact in radar detection and tracking. In addition, several EA techniques will be introduced and modeled, and the effects of radar performance will be explored. This course also provides a free and highly recommended half-day tutorial (Modeling and Simulation of Radar Systems Tutorial) of MATLAB and Simulink for those who need training or a refresher. The tutorial will display as an optional item during the checkout process.

Due to minimum enrollment requirements to hold a course, we ask that you register as early possible. View our terms and conditions for further information. If you have specific questions or requirements, please contact the course administrator.

Requirements & Materials
Prerequisites

Recommended

Materials

Required (student must provide)

  • For virtual offerings, learners will be responsible for providing their own MATLAB and Simulink software, version R2020a or higher. Learners without this software may still attend the course, but will not be able to run the models or participate in the practical exercises. Minimum components required are the following:
    • MATLAB
    • Simulink
    • Signal Processing Toolbox
    • DSP System Toolbox

Provided (student will receive)

  • Learners will receive copies of the presentation slides in both a student notebook and a CD.  The CD also contains all the software models used throughout the course, some useful tools, and other reference material used during the course.
