Interrupted-Sampling Repeater Jamming Suppression Based on Stacked Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit Network and Infinite Training

Abstract

Interrupted-sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) is coherent jamming based on digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) device, which repeatedly samples, stores, modulates, and retransmits part of the radar emitted signal, and flexibly forms false targets in the victim radar with relatively low transmitting power. It significantly interferes the radar to detect, track, and recognize targets. There are many electronic counter-countermeasures against ISRJ, among which a series of filtering methods are promising. However, it is not fully addressed. This study proposes a filtering method based on stacked bidirectional gated recurrent unit network (SBiGRU) and infinite training to fulfill the ISRJ suppression for pulse compression (PC) radar with linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveform. SBiGRU method converts signal extraction into a temporal classification problem and accurately extracts the jamming-free signal segments to generate a band pass filter to suppress the ISRJ and retain the real target signal components simultaneously. Comparing with two most advanced filtering methods in the published literature, SBiGRU method has improved the jamming-free signal extraction accuracy, leading to better performances of ISRJ suppression and real targets detection, which are verified by Monte Carlo Simulations.
