Effective Moving Target Deception Jamming Against Multichannel SAR-GMTI Based on Multiple Jammers

Abstract

This letter presents a novel scheme for moving target deception jamming (MTDJ) against multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-ground moving target indication (GMTI) based on multiple jammers. The multichannel SAR signal models for the real and false moving targets are established first. Then, the proposed MTDJ method based on multiple jammers is derived according to the principle that the interferometric phase matches the across-track velocity of the moving target. To ensure efficient deception jamming and to resolve the accurate scattering coefficient modulated in each jammer, the interferometric phase of the false moving target is decomposed into two parts, one is the term that matches the across-track velocity, while the other is the additional term generated by each jammer. Hence, the expected modulation coefficient in each jammer can be determined based on the additional interference phase cancellation. Finally, the proposed MTDJ is realized by generating the jamming signals in each jammer via the efficient deception jamming technique. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MTDJ method.
