Featured Book: EW Receivers
& Receiving Systems
 Electronic
Warfare Receivers and Receiving Systems, by Richard A. Poisel. Receivers systems are considered the core of
electronic warfare (EW) intercept systems. Without them, the fundamental purpose
of such systems is null and void. This book considers the major elements that make up receiver systems and the
receivers that go in them. This resource provides system design engineers with techniques for design and development
of EW receivers for modern modulations in addition to receivers for older, common modulation formats. Each major
module in these receivers is considered in detail...

 Engineering
Fundamentals: An Introduction to Engineering, by Saeed Moaveni. Specifically designed as an introduction to
the exciting world of engineering, the book encourages students to become engineers and prepares them with a solid
foundation in the fundamental principles and physical laws. The book begins with a discovery of what engineers
do as well as an inside look into the various areas of specialization. An explanation on good study habits and
what it takes to succeed is included as well as an introduction to design and problem solving, communication,
and ethics. Once this foundation is established, the book moves on to the basic physical concepts and laws...

 Finance
for Engineers: Evaluation and Funding of Capital Projects, by Frank Crundwell. I saw this book over on the
EE Times website and figured it would be a good subject for my Featured Book spot. With flair and an originality
of approach, Crundwell brings his considerable experience to bear on this crucial topic. Uniquely, this book discusses
the technical and financial aspects of decision-making in engineering and demonstrates these through case studies.
It's a hugely important matter as, of course, engineering solutions and financial decisions...
