Electronic-warfare (EW) systems rely upon control of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum to disable or confuse an opponent’s electronic systems. These systems are installed on most large military vehicles for use on land, at sea, and in the air. As they’ve grown more sophisticated through the years, they have come to rely on analog, digital, and RF/microwave technologies to achieve performance levels in smaller, lighter, units that are capable of operating at lower power levels.
