Abstract
We propose a method to suppress deceptive jamming by frequencydiverse array (FDA) in radar electronic countermeasure environments.FDA offers a new range-angle-dependent beam pattern through a smallfrequency increment across elements. Due to the coupling between theangle and range, a mismatch between the test angle and physical angleoccurs when the slant range on which the beam focuses is not equalto the slant range of the real target. In addition, the range of thetarget can be extracted by sum-difference beam except for time-delaytesting, because the beam provides a range resolution in the FDA thatcannot be deceived by traditional deceptive jamming. A strategy ofusing FDA to transmit two pulses with zero and nonzero frequency increments,respectively, is proposed to ensure that the angle of a target canbe obtained by FDA. Moreover, the localization performance is examinedby analyzing the Cramer-Rao lower bound and detection probability.Effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation results.
