Noise-Linear Frequency Modulation Shared Waveform for Integrated Radar and Jammer System
This paper presents an integration of radar and Electronic Warfare (EW) utilizing Noise-Linear Frequency Modulation (NLFM) waveform, which is capable of simultaneous operation of radar and EW function for target detection and jamming against the Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) Pulse Compression (PC) radar. The basic properties, detection and jamming capability of the NLFM waveform are investigated. Analysis indicates that the NLFM waveform has better range resolution and sidelobe suppression than LFM PC and random signal waveform, and that it has higher jamming efficiency against LFM PC radar than normal noise jamming waveform.
