Abstract
Abstract The interrupted‐sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) is an effective kind of intro‐pulse coherent jamming based on digital radio frequency memory. It appears as a group of false targets that are difficult to distinguish on the range profile after pulse compression, which seriously affects the target identification and tracking. According to the coherence between ISRJ and real target echo and the waveform discontinuity caused by intermittent interception, a new method is proposed for ISRJ parameter estimation and jamming suppression based on block sparse recovery. To ensure the effectiveness of sparse recovery, the transmitted signal is divided into several random phase‐encoded sub‐pulses. Firstly, the pulse‐number and time‐delay of the received echo are estimated by block orthogonal matching pursuit. Then, the jamming slices are identified based on the sampling duty ratio and the Doppler frequency is estimated through matching. Finally, according to the parameter estimation results, the jamming slices are reconstructed to eliminate ISRJ. Numerical experiments in two typical scenarios have shown that this method can effectively suppress ISRJ. Especially in the scenario of high jamming duty ratio, this method exhibits good anti‐jamming performance.
