[Legacy Report] EW Systems Fundamentals

#32nd #ANNUAL #SYMPOSIUM #AND #MINI-SHOW

Electronic Warfare is technology that denies the use of the EM spectrum by an advisory while enabling its use
by friendly forces. EW targets include RADAR and communications systems. It includes is any action involving
the use of the electromagnetic spectrum or directed energy to control the spectrum, attack of an enemy, or
impede enemy assaults via the spectrum. The purpose of electronic warfare is to deny the opponent the
advantage of, and ensure friendly unimpeded access to, the EM spectrum. EW can be applied from air, sea,
land, and space by manned and unmanned systems, and can target humans, communications, radar, or other
assets. This presentation will discuss some of the technology fundamentals and evolution needed in the
development of EW systems.
George Kannell is the RF Systems Manager in LGS Innovations where he works with and guides high performance design
teams in the development of innovative high speed Communication and EW systems working from low frequency to over
100GHz. In this role, George is responsible for systems engineering, technical & customer vision, costing, contract
management, customer communications and technical proposals. George identifies and plans new business opportunities
and works with customers to match capabilities to customer solutions. George serves as an authority in wireless radios,
cellular, phased arrays, high speed digital and general system design. He researches worldwide technology developments,
attends technical meetings and conferences and actively promotes strategic corporate partnerships to achieve new
evolutionary system capabilities. He serves as a spokesman to customers on the company’s capabilities. George mentors to
high potential engineers in RF design and publishes in major technical journals.
From 2000-2013, George was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, responsible for System Architecture, Radio
Design, Antennas, Filters, Transmitters, Receivers, PAs, Synthesizers, ADC, DAC, FPGA, CPLD, VHDL, Power Supply
and test of advanced Microwave Wireless and Optical systems. He teaches courses in Digital Communications as an Adjunct
Professor at the NJIT. Prior to LGS Innovations, he worked as a Senior Engineer at Ansoft Corporation simulating wireless
circuits and systems. Before this, at KDI/Triangle, he managed an engineering team in the design of military Components
and Subsystems. He received his MSEE degree from NJIT in 1988. He is a member of Eta Kappa Nu and Senior Member
of the IEEE. For over 10 years, he’s chaired the technical sessions for the regional IEEE MTT and AP societies Mini Show.
George received several Bell Labs President’s Awards and the IEEE Region 1 Award.
