Abstract:

Anti-sorting signal is an important direction of radio frequency (RF) stealth signal. It is based on the principle of anti-sorting signal design. In essence, the basis of the anti-sorting signal design is the failure principle of radar signal sorting algorithm. Sequential difference histogram (SDIF) algorithm is a core sorting algorithm widely used in engineering field. Firstly, SDIF algorithm is analyzed in detail in this paper. It is pointed out that the threshold function of SDIF algorithm will fail when the signal pulse repetition interval (PRI) value obeys the interval distribution whose length is more than 20 times of the PRI minimum interval, and the conclusion above is then proved by formula derivation. At last, the correctness of SDIF threshold failure principle is further verified by signal simulation, sorting system experiment and signal contrast experiment. The principle of SDIF sorting threshold failure provides theoretical support for anti-sorting RF stealth signal design and can improve the design efficiency of RF stealth anti-sorting signal.

Key words: electronic countermeasures, radio frequency stealth, sequence difference histogram, principle of sorting failure, pulse repetition interval (PRI), interval distribution
