Reviews

Tom Jeffrey's experience as systems engineer and architect of a number of modern phased array radars is well complemented by his lucid presentation of associated technologies, techniques, and performance metrics. Anyone interested in multiple-function radars for air and missile defense applications would find this book valuable. "-Mel Belcher, Chief Engineer Radar Futures, Northrop Grumman"
