A Fast Jamming Waveform Design Method for Deployment in Precision Electronic Warfare Scenario

Precision electronic warfare (PREW) is a focused energy delivery application that has been recently developed to address a number of issues associated with present electronic warfare approaches. However, current efforts to design jamming waveforms appropriate to the ultra-sparse and distributed arrays employed in PREW scenarios have had limited success. This paper addresses the issue by proposing a cyclic algorithm for the first time to facilitate the rapid design of constant-modulus jamming waveforms suitable for deployment in PREW scenarios. The jamming effects of the waveforms generated by the proposed algorithm are analyzed via numerical computations under a standard PREW scenario. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated to provide reasonable constant-modulus jamming waveforms suitable for deployment in PREW scenarios in a relatively short time.
