Overview of frequency diverse array in radar ECCM applications

Abstract

Necessities of newer radar systems are becoming even more demanding in modern electronic warfare ECM (Electronic Countermeasures) scenarios; therefore, ECCM (Electronic counter-countermeasure) technology has become one of the essential functions of the radar system evaluation. This paper provides an outline of the current research status, developments, achievements of frequency diverse array (FDA) radar, and it is appropriate to ECCM demands. We address some issues concerning FDA radar design, concepts, and key features that making the FDA protects itself from all types of jamming, with a plan to look for further investigations on the FDA ECCM aspects. Furthermore, in this review, several perspectives relevant to FDA opportunities to ECCM processing are pointed out, and numerical simulations verify the available results.
