Over the past century, tonnes of good books and papers have been published on E&M in general and radio and radar (and sonar) in particular. Here are three #radar textbooks for three levels of interest in the subject:

• "Introduction to Airborne Radar", Stimson—for non-#EEs without E&M background
• "Principles of Modern Radar" Vol 1 & 2, Richards, et al.—for EE students
• "Design and Analysis of Modern Tracking Systems", Blackman—for EEs

Amongst the few radar books with which I am familiar (I am not a radar expert), the most balanced presentation is found in the two-volume set by Richards, et al. Stimson's is too shallow and Blackman's too deep. (I have not read Skolnik's books.)

And my favourite EE undergrad intro textbook on E&M is this classic:

• "Engineering Electromagnetics", Hayt—one of the most accessible texts on the subject for EE students

Today, some IT coders contend that modern software, like MATLAB, Python, Julia, etc., make an ordinary IT coder a DSP expert, especially when assisted by AI code generators. Others believe DSP is just an API comprising a handful of functions. Some go so far as to claim that modern AI has rendered #DSP—that which #EEs have practised for almost 70 years—all but obsolete.

I do wonder, though, if any of these code cutters has ever looked at a typical #DSP library and say, "Yeah, piece of cake; I got this":

• MATLAB DSP Toolbox

• TMS320 DSP

Some good #books on #DSP for #engineering undergrads:

for #EEs

• Digital Signal Processing, Oppenheim—the Bible
• Understanding Digital Signal Processing, Lyons—accessible, comprehensive, and practical
• Introduction to Digital Signal Processing, Kuc—dated but good
• Digital Filters, Hamming—a classic
• Wavelets and Filter Banks, Strang—straight from the Master
• Digital Signal Processing using ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers, Ünsalan—STM32F4 bare-metal C programming using CMSIS-DSP library

for non-EEs

• The World According to Wavelets, Hubbard—easy overview by a non-STEM writer who interviewed all the big names in wavelet research
• The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing, Smith—the gentlest

Bottom line: the more broadly read the student is, the more accessible the subject becomes.

#EES ist der absolute Datenschutz-Gau. Eine unfassbar Katastrophe. Das ist Totalüberwachungsinfrastruktur.

Zorgeloos reizen wordt steeds verder ingeperkt: vanaf 2 april registratie nodig voor reizigers naar Groot-Brittannië.

Voor reizigers betekent het vooral: meer rompslomp en een flinke grabbel in de privacy.

Ook in de EU staat een dergelijk systeem op de planning.

EES to launch in October 2025. How will the border check system affect crossing times?

The EU’s long-delayed Entry/Exit System (EES) is scheduled to finally come into force in 2025.

The EES requires all borders to install new scanners - most will not be ready on the launch day.

EU’s ETIAS travel authorisation delayed until 2026.

This year, the new Entry/Exit System (EES) for the EU and Schengen Zone will finally be launched. Coupled with this is the introduction of the ETIAS - the European Travel Information and Authorisation System - as part of the EU’s efforts to improve border security.

The ETIAS travel permit has been delayed yet again, however, until late 2026 with a transitional grace period.

EU countries agree phased launch of Entry/Exit System, ending years of delays.

European Union countries agreed on Wednesday to finally bring into force the Entry/Exit System (EES), the bloc's automated registry for short-stay travellers that has been repeatedly delayed over technical problems and lack of preparedness.

The agreement paves the way for a likely start of operations in autumn, though no fixed date has been set.

#EU agrees phased launch of Entry/Exit System #EES for non-EU citizens who come to the bloc for visits, holidays or business trips

"visitors will have to provide their passports on arrival, alongside having a photo of their face taken and their fingerprints scanned electronically"

"The collection of biometric data and the sharing of information in real time are meant to help authorities crack down on those who overstay their short-term visas and commit identity fraud."

EES impact on borders: Eurostar scraps fast-track and Dover delays check system.

The EU’s long-delayed Entry/Exit System (EES) is scheduled to finally come into force in 2025. The EES’s scanning requirements may see delays for Eurostar check-in at the UK border.

2025 soll das Einreise-/Ausreisesystem (EES), eine neue EU-Datenbank in den Bereichen Migration, Justiz und Sicherheit, eingeführt werden.
Beim #EES handelt es sich um ein automatisiertes IT-System, das alle Drittstaatsangehörigen, die für einen Kurzaufenthalt in die EU einreisen, bei jedem Übertritt einer Außengrenze erfassen soll.

Wissenschaftler*innen und Menschenrechtsorganisationen kritisieren, dass das EES Gefahren für die Grund- u. Menschenrechte mit sich bringt.
