EW microwave components. II

The present study represents the second part of a two-part article about 'Electronic Warfare (EW) Microwave Components'. The article has the objective to provide a status report on the state-of-the-art for this important and growing area of microwave technology, and to provide some insight into the evolving component requirements for new generation EW systems to be deployed in the immediate and longer term. In the current study, the review of EW papers started in the first part of the article is continued. Attention is given to broadband high-power devices, solid-state devices, RF signal processing devices and networks, digital instantaneous frequency measurement, and acoustic-optic (Bragg cell) frequency channelizers. The impact of the RF component base for microwave EW systems on EW system technology is discussed.
