Abstract:

Mainlobe deceptive jamming brings challenges to radar applications in electronic countermeasures. In order to solve the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem of mainlobe distance deception jamming in electronic countermeasures, a distance compensation DOA estimation method based on uniform circular array-frequency diverse array (UCA-FDA) radar is proposed. The proposed method eliminates the influence of distance dimension by compensating the distance of radar receiving signals, and inputs the angle joint direction vector and the processed covariance matrix into the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm to obtain the azimuth and elevation angles of the target. In addition, the proposed method also increases the ability to distinguish multiple targets from the same direction, with the advantages of high angle estimation accuracy, good anti-jamming performance and fine application in low snapshot scene. Simulation experiments also prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: mainlobe distance deceptive jamming, frequency diverse array (FDA) radar, uniform circular array (UCA), DOA estimation
