Anti-interrupted-sampling repeater jamming method based on frequency agility waveform and sparse recovery

Abstract

Interrupted-sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) is a type of intra-pulse coherent jamming that poses a significant threat to radar detection and tracking of targets. This paper proposes an ISRJ suppression method based on frequency agile waveform and sparse recovery, starting from the temporal discontinuity and modulation characteristics of ISRJ. This method is particularly suitable for scenarios with high jamming duty ratio (JDR) and high jammer sampling duty ratio (SDR). By dividing the transmitted waveform into sub-pulses with different carrier frequencies and applying a two-round block sparse algorithm, the method accurately recovers three parameters of ISRJ, achieving effective jamming identification, reconstruction, and cancellation. Additionally, a target detection technique based on robust sparse recovery is proposed, significantly improving the stability and accuracy of target detection. Comparative experimental results conducted in three scenarios confirm the effectiveness and superiority of this method under high JDR and SDR conditions.
