A target parameter estimation method via atom-reconstruction in radar mainlobe jamming

Mainlobe jamming(MLJ)brings a big challenge for radar target detection,tracking,and identification.The suppression of MLJ is a hard task and an open problem in the electronic counter-counter measures(ECCM)field.Target parameters and target direction estimation is difficult in radar MLJ.A target parameter estimation method via atom-reconstruction in radar MLJ is proposed in this paper.The proposed method can suppress the MLJ and simultaneously provide high estimation accuracy of target range and angle.Precisely,the eigen-projection matrix processing(EMP)algorithm is adopted to suppress the MLJ,and the target range is estimated effectively through the beamforming and pulse compression.Then the target angle can be effectively estimated by the atom-reconstruction method.Without any prior knowledge,the MLJ can be canceled,and the angle estimation accuracy is well preserved.Furthermore,the proposed method does not have strict requirement for radar array construction,and it can be applied for linear array and planar array.Moreover,the proposed method can effectively estimate the target azimuth and elevation simultaneously when the target azimuth(or elevation)equals to the jamming azimuth(or elevation),because the MLJ is suppressed in spatial plane dimension.

Optimization of jamming formation of USV offboard active decoy clusters based on an improved PSO algorithm

Offboard active decoys(OADs)can effectively jam monopulse radars.However,for missiles approaching from a particular direction and distance,the OAD should be placed at a specific location,posing high requirements for timing and deployment.To improve the response speed and jamming effect,a cluster of OADs based on an unmanned surface vehicle(USV)is proposed.The formation of the cluster determines the effectiveness of jamming.First,based on the mechanism of OAD jamming,critical conditions are identified,and a method for assessing the jamming effect is proposed.Then,for the optimization of the cluster formation,a mathematical model is built,and a multi-tribe adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm based on mutation strategy and Metropolis criterion(3M-APSO)is designed.Finally,the formation optimization problem is solved and analyzed using the 3M-APSO algorithm under specific scenarios.The results show that the improved algorithm has a faster convergence rate and superior performance as compared to the standard Adaptive-PSO algorithm.Compared with a single OAD,the optimal formation of USV-OAD cluster effectively fills the blind area and maximizes the use of jamming resources.

Passive jamming is believed to have very good potential in countermeasure community.In this paper,a passive angular blinking jamming method based on electronically controlled corner reflectors is proposed.The amplitude of the incident wave can be modulated by switching the corner reflector between the penetration state and the reflection state,and the ensemble of multiple corner reflectors with towing rope can result in complex angle decoying effects.Dependency of the decoying effect on corner reflectors’radar cross section and positions are analyzed and simulated.Results show that the angle measured by a monopulse radar can be significantly interfered by this method while the automatic tracking is employed.

ECCM scheme against interrupted sampling repeater jammer based on time-frequency analysis

The interrupted sampling repeater jamming（ISRJ） is an effective deception jamming method for coherent radar, especially for the wideband linear frequency modulation（LFM） radar. An electronic counter-countermeasure（ECCM） scheme is proposed to remove the ISRJ-based false targets from the pulse compression result of the de-chirping radar. Through the time-frequency（TF） analysis of the radar echo signal, it can be found that the TF characteristics of the ISRJ signal are discontinuous in the pulse duration because the ISRJ jammer needs short durations to receive the radar signal. Based on the discontinuous characteristics a particular band-pass filter can be generated by two alternative approaches to retain the true target signal and suppress the ISRJ signal. The simulation results prove the validity of the proposed ECCM scheme for the ISRJ.

Deceptive jamming suppression in multistatic radar based on coherent clustering

This paper proposes a suppression method of the deceptive false target(FT) produced by digital radio frequency memory(DRFM) in a multistatic radar system. The simulated deceptive false targets from DRFM cannot be easily discriminated and suppressed with traditional radar systems. Therefore, multistatic radar has attracted considerable interest as it provides improved performance against deception jamming due to several separated receivers. This paper first investigates the received signal model in the presence of multiple false targets in all receivers of the multistatic radar. Then, obtain the propagation time delays of the false targets based on the cross-correlation test of the received signals in different receivers. In doing so, local-density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(LDBSCAN) is proposed to discriminate the FTs from the physical targets(PTs) after compensating the FTs time delays, where the FTs are approximately coincident with one position, while PTs possess small dispersion.Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the feasibility and validness of the proposed method.

Repeater jamming suppression method for pulse Doppler fuze based on identity recognition and chaotic encryption

Pulse Doppler(PD) fuze is widely used in current battlefield. However, with the threat of repeater jamming, especially digital radio frequency memory technology, the deficiency in the anti-repeater jamming of a traditional PD fuze increasingly emerges. Therefore, a repeater jamming suppression method for a PD fuze based on identity(ID) recognition and chaotic encryption is proposed. Every fuze has its own ID which is encrypted with different chaotic binary sequences in every pulse period of the transmitted signal. The thumbtack-shaped ambiguity function shows a good resolution and distance cutoff characteristic. The ability of anti-repeater jamming is emphatically analyzed, and the results at different signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) show a strong anti-repeater jamming ability and range resolution that the proposed method possesses. Furthermore, the anti-repeater jamming ability is influenced by processing gain, bit error rate(BER) and correlation function. The simulation result validates the theoretical analysis, it shows the proposed method can significantly improve the anti-repeater jamming ability of a PD fuze.

Feedback control scheme of traffic jams based on the coupled map car-following model

Based on the pioneering work of Konishi et al. [Phys. Rev. E （1999） 60 4000], a new feedback control scheme is presented to suppress traffic jams based on the coupled map car-following model under the open boundary condition. The effect of the safe headway on the traffic system is considered. According to the control theory, the condition under which traffic jams can be suppressed is analyzed. The results are compared with the previous results concerning congestion control. The simulations show that the suppression performance of our scheme on traffic jams is better than those of the previous schemes, although all the schemes can suppress traffic jams. The simulation results are consistent with theoretical analyses.

Adaptive target and jamming recognition for the pulse doppler radar fuze based on a time-frequency joint feature and an online-updated naive bayesian classifier with minimal risk

This paper considers the problem of target and jamming recognition for the pulse Doppler radar fuze(PDRF).To solve the problem,the matched filter outputs of the PDRF under the action of target and jamming are analyzed.Then,the frequency entropy and peak-to-peak ratio are extracted from the matched filter output of the PDRF,and the time-frequency joint feature is constructed.Based on the time-frequency joint feature,the naive Bayesian classifier(NBC)with minimal risk is established for target and jamming recognition.To improve the adaptability of the proposed method in complex environments,an online update process that adaptively modifies the classifier in the duration of the work of the PDRF is proposed.The experiments show that the PDRF can maintain high recognition accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)decreases and the jamming-to-signal ratio(JSR)increases.Moreover,the applicable analysis shows that he ONBCMR method has low computational complexity and can fully meet the real-time requirements of PDRF.

Performance analysis of multi-group three-tuple cross-eye jamming

Monopulse radar is widely used in military.Jamming monopulse radar has always been a research hotspot in electronic warfare(EW).Cross-eye jamming has always been considered as the most effective measures to jam with monopulse radar.In this paper, we propose a multi-group three-tuple crosseye jamming structure where each group contains three antenna elements with a definite phase and an amplitude relationship.Then, based on the principle of monopulse angle measurement, the error angle is deduced theoretically.Simulations show that such a multi-group three-tuple cross-eye jamming structure performs better than the multi-element cross-eye jamming structure previously proposed, and the analysis of the centroid shows that the centroid of the structure proposed in this paper is more widely distributed in space.

Noise amplitude modulation jamming signal suppression based on weighted-matching pursuit

To suppress noise amplitude modulation jamming in a single-antenna radar system, a new method based on weighted-matching pursuit （WMP） algorithm is proposed, which can achieve underdetermined blind sources separation of the jamming and the target echo from the jammed mixture in the single channel of the receiver. Firstly, the presented method utilizes a prior information about the differences between the jamming component and the radar transmitted signal to construct two signal-adapted sub-dictionaries and to determine the weights. Then the WMP algorithm is applied to remove the jamming component from the mixture. Experimental results verify the validity of the presented method. By comparison of the pulse compression performance, the simulation results shows that the presented method is superior to the method of frequency domain cancellation （FDC） when the jamming-to-signal ratio （JSR） is lower than 15 dB.

Novel LFM Jammer Suppression Algorithm for DSSS in FRFT Domain

A novel algorithm is proposed to resolve the defects in the traditional linear frequency modulation(LFM)jamming suppression algorithm in the fractional Fourier transform(FRFT)domain.The traditional LFM jamming suppression algorithm in the FRFT domain has some defects.For example,the exact threshold is difficult to set and both the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)loss and spectrum leakage are serious in strong jamming-to-signal ratio(JSR)situations.Windowing,overlapping and inverse windowing techniques are used in the FRFT domain to reduce the spectrum leakage and the SNR loss.Under the condition that only the direct sequence spread spectrum(DSSS)signal and white Gaussian noise are present,the amplitude of the received signal after FRFT is assumed to be Rayleigh distributed.Based on the distribution characteristic,hypothesis testing is used to suppress the jamming spectrum using the algorithm.Simulation results show that the performance of proposed algorithm is better than that of the conventional algorithms,especially in a strong jamming and multi component LFM jamming environment.

Mainlobe jamming suppression via improved BSS method for rotated array radar

This study deals with the problem of mainlobe jamming suppression for rotated array radar.The interference becomes spatially nonstationary while the radar array rotates,which causes the mismatch between the weight and the snapshots and thus the loss of target signal to noise ratio(SNR)of pulse compression.In this paper,we explore the spatial divergence of interference sources and consider the rotated array radar anti-mainlobe jamming problem as a generalized rotated array mixed signal(RAMS)model firstly.Then the corresponding algorithm improved blind source separation(BSS)using the frequency domain of robust principal component analysis(FDRPCA-BSS)is proposed based on the established rotating model.It can eliminate the influence of the rotating parts and address the problem of loss of SNR.Finally,the measured peakto-average power ratio(PAPR)of each separated channel is performed to identify the target echo channel among the separated channels.Simulation results show that the proposed method is practically feasible and can suppress the mainlobe jamming with lower loss of SNR.

Open World Recognition of Communication Jamming Signals

To improve the recognition ability of communication jamming signals,Siamese Neural Network-based Open World Recognition(SNNOWR)is proposed.The algorithm can recognize known jamming classes,detect new(unknown)jamming classes,and unsupervised cluseter new classes.The network of SNN-OWR is trained supervised with paired input data consisting of two samples from a known dataset.On the one hand,the network is required to have the ability to distinguish whether two samples are from the same class.On the other hand,the latent distribution of known class is forced to approach their own unique Gaussian distribution,which is prepared for the subsequent open set testing.During the test,the unknown class detection process based on Gaussian probability density function threshold is designed,and an unsupervised clustering algorithm of the unknown jamming is realized by using the prior knowledge of known classes.The simulation results show that when the jamming-to-noise ratio is more than 0d B,the accuracy of SNN-OWR algorithm for known jamming classes recognition,unknown jamming detection and unsupervised clustering of unknown jamming is about 95%.This indicates that the SNN-OWR algorithm can make the effect of the recognition of unknown jamming be almost the same as that of known jamming.

Jamming-Aided Secure Communication in Ultra-Dense LEO Integrated Satellite-Terrestrial Networks

The ultra-dense low earth orbit(LEO)integrated satellite-terrestrial networks(UDLEO-ISTN)can bring lots of benefits in terms of wide coverage,high capacity,and strong robustness.Meanwhile,the broadcasting and open natures of satellite links also reveal many challenges for transmission security protection,especially for eavesdropping defence.How to efficiently take advantage of the LEO satellite’s density and ensure the secure communication by leveraging physical layer security with the cooperation of jammers deserves further investigation.To our knowledge,using satellites as jammers in UDLEO-ISTN is still a new problem since existing works mainly focused on this issue only from the aspect of terrestrial networks.To this end,we study in this paper the cooperative secrecy communication problem in UDLEOISTN by utilizing several satellites to send jamming signal to the eavesdroppers.An iterative scheme is proposed as our solution to maximize the system secrecy energy efficiency(SEE)via jointly optimizing transmit power allocation and user association.Extensive experiment results verify that our designed optimization scheme can significantly enhance the system SEE and achieve the optimal power allocation and user association strategies.

Jamming in confined geometry:Criticality of the jamming transition and implications of structural relaxation in confined supercooled liquids

In marginally jammed solids confined by walls,we calculate the particle and ensemble averaged value of an order parameter,Ψ(r),as a function of the distance to the wall,r.Being a microscopic indicator of structural disorder and particle mobility in solids,Ψis by definition the response of the mean square particle displacement to the increase of temperature in the harmonic approximation and can be directly calculated from the normal modes of vibration of the zerotemperature solids.We find that,in confined jammed solids,Ψ(r)curves at different pressures can collapse onto the same master curve following a scaling function,indicating the criticality of the jamming transition.The scaling collapse suggests a diverging length scale and marginal instability at the jamming transition,which should be accessible to sophisticatedly designed experiments.Moreover,Ψ(r)is found to be significantly suppressed when approaching the wall and anisotropic in directions perpendicular and parallel to the wall.This finding can be applied to understand the r-dependence and anisotropy of the structural relaxation in confined supercooled liquids,providing another example of understanding or predicting behaviors of supercooled liquids from the perspective of the zero-temperature amorphous solids.

Secrecy-Enhancing Design for Two-Way Energy Harvesting Cooperative Networks with Full-Duplex Relay Jamming

To guarantee secure information transmission within two sources,a full-duplex(FD)relay jamming scheme for two-way energy harvesting(EH)cooperative networks is proposed,in which the relay can achieve simultaneous information reception and jamming transmission.The EH relay node scavenges energy from two source signals,and then,uses the harvested energy for information relaying and jamming transmission by the power splitting(PS)protocol.Considering multiple eavesdroppers,the nonconvex optimization for maximizing the smaller bidirectional secrecy rates is formulated by jointly optimizing the power allocation and PS factor.Furthermore,an iterative algorithm based on successive convex approximation and alternate search method is proposed to solve this non-convexity.Simulation results verify the proposed iterative algorithm and show that the proposed jamming scheme can achieve substantial performance gain than other conventional schemes.

Joint target assignment and power allocation in the netted C-MIMO radar when tracking multi-targets in the presence of self-defense blanket jamming

The netted radar system(NRS)has been proved to possess unique advantages in anti-jamming and improving target tracking performance.Effective resource management can greatly ensure the combat capability of the NRS.In this paper,based on the netted collocated multiple input multiple output(CMIMO)radar,an effective joint target assignment and power allocation(JTAPA)strategy for tracking multi-targets under self-defense blanket jamming is proposed.An architecture based on the distributed fusion is used in the radar network to estimate target state parameters.By deriving the predicted conditional Cramer-Rao lower bound(PC-CRLB)based on the obtained state estimation information,the objective function is formulated.To maximize the worst case tracking accuracy,the proposed JTAPA strategy implements an online target assignment and power allocation of all active nodes,subject to some resource constraints.Since the formulated JTAPA is non-convex,we propose an efficient two-step solution strategy.In terms of the simulation results,the proposed algorithm can effectively improve tracking performance in the worst case.

Serious ice accumulating,pile-up and ice jamming occur around the conductor array of offshore jacket platforms during the winter every year in Bohai Sea,which could cause grave threats to the stability of platform structure,the safety of people and equipment,and even severer calamity.Therefore,the process of ice accumulation and ice jamming in the jacket platform area needs more concern.This study focuses on ice accumulation and jamming behaviors in the jacket platform conductor area by using a coupled two-dimensional hydro-ice dynamics model.A series of cases are conducted with different flow conditions,such as flow velocity,drifting direction and oscillatory flow.Through the simulation,the ice pile-up process is described and changes in ice-jamming thickness,ice pile-up location and ice pile-up volume are investigated.The differences in ice pile-up in the steady flow and oscillatory flow are analyzed.This study proposes a new approach to simulate the ice jamming process in the jacket platform conductor area,providing a reference for ice management on the platform.

Towards reinforcement learning in UAV relay for anti-jamming maritime communications

Maritime communications with sea surface reflections and sea wave occlusions are susceptible to jamming attacks due to the wide geographical area and intensive wireless communication services.Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)help relay messages to improve communication performance,but the relay policy that depends on the rapidly changing maritime environments is difficult to optimize.In this paper,a reinforcement learning-based UAV relay policy for maritime communications is proposed to resist jamming attacks.Based on previous transmission performance,the relay location,the received power of the transmitted signal and the received jamming power,this scheme optimizes the UAV trajectory and relay power to save the energy consumption and decrease the Bit-Error-Rate(BER)of the maritime signals.A deep reinforcement learning-based scheme is also proposed,which designs a deep neural network with dueling architecture to further improve the communication performance and computational complexity.The performance bounds regarding the signal to interference plus noise ratio,energy consumption and the communication utility are provided based on the Nash equilibrium of the game against jamming,and the computational complexity of the proposed schemes is analyzed.Simulation results show that the proposed schemes improve the energy efficiency and decrease the BER compared with the benchmark.
