An Anti-2D Deceptive Jamming Method for Multi-Baseline Interferometric SAR Based on Co-Localization Jammer

Aimed at the problem that range-azimuth joint jamming can effectively generate high fidelity false targets in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, an anti-2D deceptive jamming method for multibaseline interferometric SAR is proposed in this article. The method consists of three steps: identification; classification; and suppression. First, the target is detected in the sea clutter background using constant false alarm rate algorithm, and then, the false target is identified base on the difference of the spatial position of the target in different SAR images. Second, through the analysis of the generating principle of deceptive jamming, the false target is classified by multibaseline interferometric SAR according to partial prior knowledge, which is designed based on the differences between the interferometric phase of the true and false target. Finally, the position of the active jammer is co-located underlying the phase equalization characteristics between multiple baselines and the geometric configuration of the SAR, and the adaptive beamforming method is supplied to suppress the jamming signal. The proposed method has a significantly improved ability to suppress jamming relative to interferometric phase cancellation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation.
