Abstract:

As a typical passive jamming method, chaff movement in the air and its distribution orientation are complex and changeable, with uncertainties. Its radar characteristics are quite complicated, even the advanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR) seeker is difficult to deal with. Under this situation, a chaff clouds interference recognition method from the polarization characteristics and aerodynamic characteristics of chaff clouds is proposed. The unique layered polarization characteristics of chaff clouds can be used to recognize the chaff jamming. The height dimension information of the target is obtained by using the interference principle, and the feature recognition quantity ρ is used to measure the polarization difference between the chaff clouds and the ship target. The application scope of the proposed method is also discussed. Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

Key words: polarization, chaff clouds, target recognition, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) seeker
