Performance Improvement of Deception Jamming Against SAR Based on Minimum Condition Number

This paper proposes a new approach to improve the error performance of the synergy netting deception jamming against synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The existing methods cannot tackle the issue of error amplification induced by the linear equations constructed for jamming coefficients calculation. To handle this problem, we develop an optimal layout for radar receivers to minimize the effect of the error by minimizing the condition number, which measures the sensitivity of the synergy deception jamming system to the perturbation. It is revealed that the devised approach relies little on the SAR kinematic parameters. To further improve the error performance of the jamming system, collaborative receivers, which provide more observations of time difference of arrivals, are introduced to perform a linear least-squares estimation. The error reduction level due to the cooperative receivers is analyzed. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the superiority of the proposed method.
