Adaptive Countering Technique for Angle Deception Based on Dual Polarization Radar Seeker

Abstract EN

Angle deception jamming makes the monopulse radar seeker track to itself but not the real target, which is catastrophic for the guidance radar.

In this paper, an adaptive technique based on dual polarization radar is presented to counter it.

How angle deception jamming acts on the monopulse tracking radar is first investigated.

An angle estimation technique of the real target is then derived from the conventional monopulse method, although it is being interfered with by angle deception jamming.

Meanwhile, the polarization ratio characteristic of the angle deception jamming could be adaptively estimated in current practical scene.

Furthermore, the similar characteristic of Jones vectors is defined as the rule to judge whether the target is being interfered with by jamming.

It can make the radar seeker select different techniques for angle estimation adaptively.

Finally, two major factors of angle estimation accuracy are analyzed by simulation and the effectiveness of the proposed technique is proved through experiments.
