Thanks to several alert Microwaves101 fans (Steve, Kerry, Matthew, Randall, Joe, Julian to name a few...) we have our own copy of the Navy's Electronic Warfare and Radar Systems Handbook. This is a public domain document originally released in 2013. Click the image to read it and when the handbook is displayed, click the floppy disk icon to download the pdf.
