Interference and deception of SAR imaging radar receivers

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an advanced radar technology used for mapping and imaging the Earth's surface, with significant applications in both military and civilian contexts. SAR provides high-resolution two-dimensional images under various environmental conditions, including at night or through clouds and dust. This study investigates the impact of different jamming techniques on SAR systems, focusing on optimizing signal processing methods and assessing the power requirements for effective jamming. Using simulations, six jamming techniques were analyzed, and their effectiveness was evaluated in terms of signal-to-jammer ratio (SJR). The results identify optimal strategies for deception and disruption, providing valuable insights for electronic warfare applications.
