Divided into two parts, the author introduces the basic theory of radio prediction before providing a step-by-step explanation of how this theory can be translated into real-life applications. In addition, the book presents up-to-date systems and methods to illustrate how these applications work in practice. This includes systems working in the HF bands and SHF. Furthermore, the author examines the performance of these systems, and also the effects of noise, interference and deliberate jamming, as well as the performance of jamming, detection and intercept systems. Particular attention is paid to the problems caused by Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIEDs).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA

intelligence specialist. Whilst a director of ATDI Ltd, he worked closely with clients in Special Forces, specialist EW regiments and other government agencies in the EW and intelligence environment. Through this he has provided guidance on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and has designed and delivered many training courses on military communications and electronic warfare. In addition, Adrian is highly experienced at designing radio networks for both military and civil applications, and an expert in the use of computer-based radio prediction and modelling techniques in order to predict their performance in the real world. Having served for 22 years as an intelligence officer in the Defence Intelligence Staff, he is a technical expert on DI 57, Technical Intelligence (Navy).  \u003cb\u003eA practical guide to the principles of radio communications for both civilian and military applications\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author covers both the civilian and military uses of technology, focusing particularly on the applications of radio propagation and prediction.
