Description
Summary:Cross-eye jamming is an angular deception jamming technique against monopulse radar. Multiple-element retrodirective cross-eye jamming (MRCJ) as an improved method, uses a retrodirective antenna array with multiple antenna elements in a cross-eye jammer and can obtain better jamming performance. However, the practical MRCJ system employing a linear antenna array becomes ineffective when the threat radar appears in the antenna array’s end-fire direction. To meet multiple threats from different directions and provide continuous jamming, MRCJ employing a circular antenna array (C-MRCJ) is proposed after defining the modulation direction of system parameters. Optimal configuration of C-MRCJ providing stable jamming performance is discussed. The number of the jammer loops is analyzed under considerable jamming performance and moderate hardware cost.
