Jamming Effects on Hybrid Multistatic Radar Network Range and Velocity Estimation Errors

This research studies the effects of three noise jamming techniques on performance a hybrid multistatic radar network in selection different electronic warfare (EW) situations. The metrics investigated are range and velocity estimation errors found using Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs). simulated is comprised single active transmitter, illuminators opportunity (IO), receiver co-located at transmitter site, two separately located silent receivers. Each IO transmits unique frequency band commonly used for civilian applications, including Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T), Audio Broadcasting (DAB), FM radio. capable receiving signals all bands as well operating transmitter. investigations included compare detecting airborne target under conditions where combinations jammer type, mode, directivity, number jammers used. degradation system compared to operation non-contested environment determined comparison between with that achievable by monostatic an active-only within contested scenarios made. Results show use spatially distributed nodes diversity enable greater theoretical functionality presence over conventional systems.
