In this paper, one of the sources of the phase error, i.e., local oscillator (LO) phase noise, is analyzed for a long-baseline cross-eye jammer. The effect of LO phase noise on the jamming performance is revealed for the first time.

The configured structure involves the fusion of Minkowski, Sierpinski carpet and Giuseppe Peano in a coherent manner. The two-iterative conglomerated fractal antenna is realized physically by considering FR4 epoxy material (dielectric constant, ε_r = 4.4 and mass density = 1,900 kg/m³). The volumetric dimensions of the fabricated prototype are 36 x 36 x 1.6 mm³. In the designing process, the geometrical descriptors, namely, feedline width ‘W_F’ and ground plane dimension ‘L_G’ are optimized specifically using Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) and Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) strategies. The optimal solution is searched by changing the descriptor values under a set of practical constraints. The examined values of ‘W_F’ and ‘L_G’ using IWO and HSA are 3 and 31 mm, and 2.6 and 28.7 mm, respectively. Comparative results reveal that IWO offers superior solution quality and convergence than HSA. Afterwards, experimentation of the Projected HFAIWO is done to justify the recommended fractal hybridization approach. Measurements reveal that for VSWR ≤ 2, the fabricated structure produces nine resonance points (1.84, 3.99, 5.15, 5.55, 6.30, 6.58, 8.00, 9.29, and 12.01 GHz) with appreciable gain values.

The SSF is used to reduce the output impedance of the LDO, enhancing its carry-under-load capability.
