Integrated Jamming Perception and Parameter Estimation Method for Anti-interrupted Sampling Repeater Jamming

Abstract

Interrupted Sampling Repeater Jamming (ISRJ) is a type of intra-pulse coherent jamming that can easily generate false targets resembling real ones, thus posing a severe threat to radar systems. Traditional methods for countering ISRJ techniques are relatively passive and often fail to adapt to evolving jamming techniques, leading to residual jamming effects and signal loss. To improve radar’s anti-jamming capabilities, a novel scheme integrating “jamming perception, parameter estimation, and jamming suppression” has been developed in this study. This method begins by using a bidirectional double sliding window pulse edge detector and a sliding truncated matched filter. These devices are used to extract the ISRJ components of received radar signals and accurately estimate the parameters such as sampling duration and period. The jamming components are then reconstructed and eliminated, allowing for effective target detection. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed method effectively overcomes ISRJ across different modulation modes with almost no loss of signal energy. When the jamming-to-noise ratio is 9 dB, the method boosts the signal-to-jamming ratio by over 33 dB after jamming suppression, ensuring robust anti-ISRJ performance.
