Deceptive SAR Jamming Based on 1-bit Sampling and Time-Varying Thresholds

This paper addresses the issue of deceptive jamming against synthetic aperture radar (SAR) by using 1-bit sampling and time-varying threshold (TVT). With 1-bit intercepted SAR signal, the multipliers involved in a convolution is replaced by xnor gates, which considerably simplify the jamming signal generation. Moreover, the TVT is used for 1-bit quantization before retransmission to retain the relative amplitude information of the jamming signal. As a result, the proposed deceptive jamming schemes are superior to their conventional counterpart in terms of realization. Effects of harmonics and oversampling are analyzed to evaluate the performance degradations caused by the 1-bit sampling and TVT. Simulation results are provided to confirm the validity of the proposed schemes.
