Experimental Study of High Power Microwave Injection in Radar Receiving Front-end

Abstract

In order to study the tolerance threshold and damage process of radar receiving front end against high power microwave pulse attack, the relationship between the damage of receiving front end and injected signal power, pulse width, and duration was obtained by injection test. The experimental results show that the damage of PIN limiter by high power microwave is a slow worsening process near the damage threshold. Based on the test results, the radar withstanding range of high-power microwave weapon attack is calculated theoretically, which can provide theoretical support for the radar receiving front-end design.
