Performance of Follower Noise Jammers Considering Practical Tracking Parameters

In this paper, we analyze the performance of follower noise jammers (FNJ) considering three practical tracking parameters such as tracking bandwidth, tracking time and tracking success probability. The performance of FNJ is compared with that of the partial-band noise jammer (PBNJ) in terms of symbol error rate (SER) under the assumed typical operation scenario. As we can easily expect, it is observed that the performance of FNJ is better than that of PBNJ in the sense of jamming. It is also observed that the performance of FNJ is heavily dependent on the tracking time and the tracking success probability and, at the same time, the effect of the tracking bandwidth on the performance of FNJ is relatively small compared with the other two parameters. Finally, we show the required tracking time and tracking success probability to satisfy a certain required SER for a fixed tracking bandwidth under the assumed operation scenario.
