In this paper, we analyze the effects of estimation error in the active cancellation signal, which is intended to counter the pulsed-CW signal of a hostile radar. We also examine the effects of estimation error in maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) and quadratic interpolation scheme from a radar signal active cancellation viewpoint. Then, we modify the correlation-based error compensation scheme which mitigates the estimation error of MLE to improve the performance of the active cancellation signal. Finally, we present simulation results to show that the correlation-based scheme has better performance than the other in terms of radar signal active cancellation.

We propose a parameter estimation algorithm for radar signal active cancellation based on the Pade approximation that requires much less samples than the conventional MLE scheme. We also verify that the radar signal with time-variant center frequency can be estimated with proposed algorithm by renovating the center frequency. We present simulation results for radar signal active cancellation to show the accuracy of estimated signal using proposed algorithm by calculating the ratio of RMSE of estimated signal to amplitude of hostile radar signal.

We introduce a parameter estimation algorithm by using pole-zero coefficients of Pade approximation for radar active cancellation. Proposed scheme is based on relation among pole-zero coefficients of Pade approximation, parameters, and samples of received signal. A closed form solution for parameter estimation is achieved with a few samples of received signal and a simple comparison. Also, stepwise estimation algorithm is proposed to suppress beat effect which is occurred by active cancellation over long time with imperfectly estimated parameters. Simulation results show that proposed scheme performs faster radar active cancellation with lower computational complexity than the conventional schemes.

Through applying hostile radar signals that use stagger PRI to PRI transform in real time, we can analyze stagger PRI and calculate the future TOA for active cancellation by using measured TOA and estimated PRI. We shows the effect of the errors that are contained in PRI and measured TOA. Then, it will suggest the technique to improve the accuracy of estimated PRI and the TOA averaging method for reducing the effect of measured TOA error. Finally, we will show that accuracy of estimated future TOA that is calculated by proposed scheme is higher than that of future TOA that is simply calculated with TDOA and newest TOA through comparing RMSE performance.

In this paper, a retrodirective anatenna array system is proposed and the possibility of actively cancelling electromagnetic waves based on this system is investigated. When a rectrodirective array system receives an electromagnetic wave, it can send waves in the direction of the incoming signal without prior knowledge of the direction. In applications to cancellation of radar signals, the system can generate and send signals to the radar so that it cancels the radar signals that are reflected back to the radar. In such a system, isolation between the input and output ports is a key factor that determines the effectiveness of cancellation. In this work, a dual-conversion mixer system is proposed to maximize the isolation. Since this minimizes the difference between the direction of reflection of radar signals and the transmission of cancellation signals, the effectiveness of cancellation is maximized. Experimental results for a metallic plate and metallic cylinder shows as much as 29-dB reduction in reflection for a $2{\times}2$ retrodirective array based on proposed dual-conversion mixer system, which verifies the proposed method of active cancellation.
