Abstract

Abstract:

Nonperiodic interrupted sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) against inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) can obtain two-dimensional blanket jamming performance by joint fast and slow time domain interrupted modulation, which is obviously different from the conventional multi-false-target deception jamming. In this paper, a suppression method against this kind of novel jamming is proposed based on inter-pulse energy function and compressed sensing theory. By utilizing the discontinuous property of the jamming in slow time domain, the unjammed pulse is separated using the intra-pulse energy function difference. Based on this, the two-dimensional orthogonal matching pursuit (2D-OMP) algorithm is proposed. Further, it is proposed to reconstruct the ISAR image with the obtained unjammed pulse sequence. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated via the Yake-42 plane data simulations.
