A Method for Interrupted-Sampling Repeater Jamming Identification and Suppression Based on Differential Features

Abstract

The interrupted-sampling repeater jammer can sample, store, process and transmit part of the radar transmitter signal multiple times and the fake targets will form on the radar receiver. To improve the radar performance in the aforementioned jamming scenario, in this study, a new signal differential feature extraction method is proposed, and a judgment criterion is formulated based on the difference between the target echo and the Interrupted-Sampling Repeater Jamming (ISRJ) in the differential feature space to effectively identify and suppress the ISRJ while achieving target detection. Simulation results show that the proposed method has a remarkable ISRJ suppression performance. The equivalent signal-to-noise ratio is improved by at least 4.2 dB compared with three typical time-frequency domain filtering algorithms.
