Joint Communication and Jamming System Design Based on Filter Bank Multicarrier Chirp Waveform: Using for Curvilinear Flight Scenario

Abstract

A joint communication jamming waveform is proposed in this study based on the FBMC- chirp. To increase the number of false targets in a single pulse period, the chirp signal is modulated to different subcarrier groups. Since the subcarriers of the FBMC-OQAM signal are orthogonal, the signals are naturally orthogonal. This allows the transmitter and receiver to be separated and achieve multiple false target jamming, allowing the CFAR threshold to be raised by about 20 dB and protecting the target from detection. The ratio of the frequency shift of the designed jamming signal to the frequency modulation depends on the delay time, making the joint signal more robust in response to jamming and resistant to frequency modulation. The use of intercepted radar signals allowed channel estimation, providing high-speed digital transmission while ensuring multi-false-target jamming. The simulation results show that the joint signal has jamming effects on the pulse Doppler radar. The proposed FBMC chirp joint waveform requires about 20dB less jamming signal ratio than the existing method, and thus the energy saved can ensure the robust performance of the communication subsystem in the joint communication jamming system. The proposed system has excelled in communication rate and bit error rate performance, ensuring that instructions are accurately and completely transmitted while implementing effective jamming.

Joint Radar Jamming and Communication System Design Based on Universal Filtered Multicarrier Chirp Waveform

“…The FBMC chirp [40] and OFDM chirp [42] waveforms have been proposed in previous studies, employing the fundamental principle of modulating chirp signals onto distinct subcarrier groups. Due to the inherent orthogonality of subcarriers in OFDM and FBMC signals, signals on different subcarrier groups naturally satisfy orthogonality.…”

“…Given the primary objective of designing the joint signal, namely achieving communication while simultaneously jamming, the design specifications for jamming are subject to more rigorous requirements, necessitating a more stringent approach. Referencing [40], the system constraints associated with the proposed joint signal in this study are thoroughly examined.…”
