EW Mesh

Low Probability of Intercept/ LPI

Waveform property that minimizes the chance of detection by adversary signals intelligence.

Definition

LPI waveforms keep emitted power spectral density low through wide bandwidth, short bursts, and rapid frequency agility, so that hostile intercept receivers cannot reliably detect the signal above the noise floor. LPI is paired with LPD (low probability of detection) and LPE (low probability of exploitation) to characterize stealth at the RF layer.
