Abstract
Based on resonance absorption effect of metamaterials, a novel passive jamming method against Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is proposed in this paper. By adopting a cross-shaped metamaterial, the resonance frequency is designed within the ISAR bandwidth. Using the finite integration technique to calculate the electromagnetic reflection characteristics, the scattering point model and distorted radar echo of the target coated with the designed metamaterial are obtained. Then, the ISAR imaging analysis model of the target coated with the cross-shaped metamaterial is established. Finally, jamming effects of the cross-shaped metamaterial on the ISAR imaging are studied and verified. The range profile result indicates that besides the energy attenuation, the single radar target becomes two false radar targets, both of which are not located at the real target position. The ISAR imaging result shows that the target becomes blurred and many low-brightness points are produced. The passive jamming method could have a negative impact on the ISAR image target recognition applied to aircrafts, ships, and missiles.
