Novel Smart Noise Jamming Suppression Method Based on Smeared Spectrum

This study proposes an anti-jamming scheme for linear frequency modulated (LFM) radars to combat smart noise jamming, which is a newly proposed pattern that is very effective against LFM radars. First, by utilizing the smeared spectrum technique, the chirp rates of the target return and jamming signal can be changed. The target return and jamming signal then exhibit different characteristics after the application of matched filters. Finally, the true target can be distinguished from the smart noise jamming, which is suppressed by the reconstruction and subtraction in the receiving signal. Numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the proposed anti-jamming device, which is also verified as having a superior performance over existing jamming suppression schemes.
