In this paper, we consider the applicability of time-hopping(TH) systems for anti-jamming(AJ) communication. We first briefly summarize fundamentals of TH systems and several common jamming scenarios that have been considered in the literature. We then analyze the AJ performance of TH systems under those common jamming environments. From our simulation results, we reveal that among narrow band, partial band, broadband, and sweep jamming, partial band and sweep jamming are the best ones from jammer perspective. For the partial band jamming case, we show that the most effective bandwidth ratio and location are 50 % and 2.5-3.5 Ghz, respectively. For the sweep jamming case, we illustrate that the AJ performance of the TH system is enhanced when the sweep duration approaches to the bit duration. In addition, we pointed out that the most efficient jamming bandwidth ratio is 1/2. Finally, our results show that the TH-BPSK system greatly outperforms the TH-PPM counterpart.

In this paper, LPI(low probability of intercept) and AJ(anti jamming) performance of the chirped BPSK system are analyzed. In the chirp method the cyclostationary of the signal is eliminated, since the instantaneous frequency is varied randomly within the whole spread bandwidth. Therefore, chirp method is considered for good LPI system against DAM(delay-and-multiplier) or SC (squaring circuit) interceptor which detects the chip rate or carrier frequency. Longer chirp duration makes the LPI performance better. From the simulation results, the chirp method has better AJ performance than DS(direct sequence) system in the PBNJ(partial band noise jammer) channel. At the same JSR(jammer to signal power ratio) level, chirped BPSK system has more robust AJ performance against MTJ(multi-tone jammer) than PBNJ.

In the defence wireless communications, conventional Anti-Jamming techniques(Frequency Hopping/Spread Spectrum or Direct Sequence/Spread Spectrum) are used to overcome a intentional interfering signals which are single/multitone or partial band jammer etc. DS/SS techniques is very strong on tone jamming signal but not to be on a partial band jammer. So FH/SS AJ performances are expected method of an substitution of DS/SS, however FH/SS could not have good performance on some BMTJ(Band Multi-tone Jammer). So this paper proposes FH-CSS (Frequency Hopped - Chirp Spread Spectrum) to get more robustness against jammers(BMTJ, PBNJ) and analyze the AJ performances.

본 논문에서는 chirp 변조를 이용한 통신 시스템의 LPI(low probability of intercept)와 AJ(anti-jamming)성능을 분석하였다. 인터셉터에 DAM(delay and multiplier)과 SC(squaring circuit)가 이용된 경우 CBPSK(Chirped BPSK)의 LPI 성능을 분석하였다. 스펙트럼 확산 방식의 CBPSK와 DS/BPSK 시스템에 대한 AJ 성능을 비교 분석 및 주파수 호핑 방식의 FH/CBFSK(Chirped BFSK)와 FH/BFSK, 그리고 FH/BCM(Binary Chirp Modulation) 시스템에 대한 AJ 성능을 분석하였다. LPI 결과로, CBPSK(Chirped BPSK)은 chirp 변수인 chirp 주기($T_3$가 커질수록 좋은 LPI 성능을 보인다. AJ 결과로, PBNJ(partial band noise jammer)환경에서 CBPSK 방식이 DS/BPSK 방식에 비하여 AJ 성능이 우수하고, 마찬가지로 FH/CBFSK 방식이 FH/BFSK 방식에 비하여 AJ 성능이 우수함을 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose the Tile Based Frequency Hopping - Chirp Spread Spectrum(TBFH-CSS) technique, which has excellent Low Probability of Intercept(LPI)/Anti-Jamming(AJ) performance. Conventional Frequency Hopping - Chirp Spread Spectrum(FH-CSS) technique uses only single chirp signal, that makes the follower jammer easy to find and jam. However, proposed TBFH-CSS uses various kind of chirp signals which are generated according to the structure of basis tile, it is composed the basis time unit and the basis bandwidth unit. The TBFH-CSS signal has variety signal period and signal bandwidth. Therefore, the follower jammer hard to find and difficult to jam the TBFH-CSS signal. We analysis the LPI/AJ performance of the TBFH-CSS technique when the follow jamming attack exist and compared with the performance of the conventional FH-CSS technique. From the analysis, we can see the proposed TBFH-CSS technique has better LPI/AJ performance than conventional technique.

FHMA(frequency hopping multiple access) communication system has good performance for the LPI and AJ(low probability of intercept and anti-jamming) application. However, high PAPR(peak to average power ratio) happens in the base-station or the repeater system because of a large number of users. In general, predistorter is used to complete the HPA(high power amplifier) nonlinear characteristics. This paper analyzes BER performance when magnitude of IBO(input back oft) and the number of user are considered as the system parameters. In case of the SSPA(solid state power amplifier), the predistorter does not always work as a complete nonlinear compensator. We find that there is a minimum value of IBO for the predistorter to compensate for the nonlinear SSP A, which is changed as the number of user. If IBO is lower than 6 ㏈ at the user number of 16 and p=1, the system with predistorter is poorer than the one without predistorter. Only when the IBO is over 6 ㏈, predistorter does work as a nonlinear compensator. We call it as cross-over IBO value. TWTA improves the more compensation performance than SSPA because characteristic AM/AM of TWTA has more nonlinear than SSPA. At the BER=10$\^$-3/, there are SNR power gains of about 2.5 ㏈ and 3 ㏈ due to the predistorter when the numbers of users are 16 and 32, respectively.

In this paper, it is proposed the link performance analysis results using SNRAT(Satellite Network Resource Allocation & Analysis Tool) and verified the anticipated results by satellite communication network simulator. A communication satellite cannot be corrected or fixed for the error in orbit operation after launching unlike the ground operation equipment and has a restricted operation life. So, it is important to make possible to use satellite communications in the proper time. It is expected the link BER(Bit Error Rate), throughput and AJ(Anti-Jamming) performance using SNRAT tool before launching. And it is verified the performance of the repeaters and ground equipment specification using the satellite network simulator and is extracted the optimum operational scenarios through the tests of various network operational plans.

A frequency hopping(FH) signal can change its carrier frequency during transmission and has spread-spectrum characteristics in these frequency bands. Therefore, FH signals are widely used in applications that require low-probability-of-intercept(LPI) and anti-jamming (AJ) abilities in wireless communication environments. In this study, the authors propose a method for generating hopping information (HI), which includes start time, dwell time, and hopping frequency for unknown FH signals. The proposed blind HI generation method produces signal detection information based on the spectrum data and then extracts HI using operational procedures for estimating the target FH signal's status, such as appearance, maintenance, and termination. Further, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method provides accurate HI without detection omissions for various FH signals.
