BER Calculation for Sweep Jamming of MPSK Modulated RCIED Activation Message Signals

This paper presents the development of the method for accurate BER calculation when MPSK modulated RCIED activation message is jammed using sweep signal. The derived formulas are achieved for QPSK, 8PSK and 16PSK modulated signals jamming. It is proved that BER tends to maximum value 0.5 when jamming signal power increases and that only 20% lower BER value is obtained for less than 7dB higher jamming signal level than it is the level of RCIED activation signal. These results point out that it is not necessary to apply too high emission power to achieve acceptable jamming effect. As a consequence, jammer practical implementation is easier and its dimensions are smaller.
