Homogeneously Distributed Multiple False Targets Jamming Using Frequency Diverse Array

Abstract

A novel radar jamming method using frequency diverse array (FDA) is proposed, which is a new technology to encounter pulse compression radar, where the jamming signals generated directly by the FDA do not rely on the radar transmit full signals and its parameters are obtained using the reconnaissance system, so that real-time jamming can be achieved. Compared to the traditional delay-based jammer, our proposed jamming method can easily generate a lot of false targets that are evenly distributed around the true target, and the number of false targets depends on array elements, which implies that many false targets can be generated easily. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
