When an enemy platforms transmit electronic jamming or tracking interference signal to a friendly ship's radar, the radar have to avoid the jamming and to track targets continually without losing the targets with the electronic protection techniques. Electronic protection is an essential key for a platform to survive in electronic warfare, for this purpose, jamming simulator was developed to provide electronic warfare environments for the test and evaluate the effectiveness of radar's electronic protection techniques. Jamming simulator has ability to generate a variety of deception and noise jamming signals using the DRFM which minimize phase distortions of 1GHz broadband radar signal with the phase sampling method. This paper presents the design contents of the jamming simulator to process the analysis of broadband radar signal and generate jamming signal, also proposes the algorithms of the deception and noise jamming and verifies the effectiveness of the simulator by field trial.

Due to its capability to resist jamming signals, chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technique has attracted much attention in the field of wireless communications. However, there has been little rigorous analysis for the performance of CSS systems in the presence of jamming signals. In this paper, thus, we present analytic results on the performance of a CSS system: specifically, symbol error rate (SER) expressions are derived for a CSS M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) system in the presence of broadband and tone jamming signals, respectively. The numerical results show that the empirical SER closely agree with the analytic result.

The detection performances, in this paper, are derived according to combination of the multiband GNSS signals in broadband jamming environments. The detection probabilities depending on the false alarm probabilities are derived and presented via Monte-Carlo simulation under the assumption as follows: the GNSS signals are perfectly orthogonal and simultaneously received by the receiver using non-coherent correlation.

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.

This paper presents the development of compact and lightweight broadband power amplifier module using HMIC (Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit) technology that could be high-density integration for many non-packaged microwave components into the small area of a high dielectric constant printed circuit board, such as a ceramic substrate, also using the special design and fabrication schemes for the structure of minimized electromagnetic interference to obtain the homogeneous electrical performance at the wideband frequency. The results confirmed that the small signal gain has a gain flatness of ${\pm}1.5dB$ within the range of 32 to 36 dB. In addition, the output power satisfied more than 30 dBm. The noise figure was measured within 7 dB, and OIP3 (Output Third Order Intercept Point) was more than 39 dBm. The fabricated broadband power amplifier satisfied the target specification required to electrically drive the high power amplifiers of jamming generators for electronic warfare, so the actual applicability to the system was verified. Future studies will be aimed at designing other similar microwave power amplifiers in the future.

The combination of the broadband property and the wide area coverage of satellite communications enables high speed transmission. Every user in the region under the satellite beam coverage can tranceiver and one can simultaneously communicate with multiple users. For these reasons, it is one of commendable telecommunication networks for information transfer. Since the satellite communications use open channels, it is likely to cause jamming with unwanted interference signals. In the thesis, APSK (Amplitude Phase Shift Keying) is employed, which is recommended for DVB-S2 due to high-speed transmission and excellent bandwidth efficiency. For obtaining reliable communication under the jamming environments, the communication satellite transponder rests on the polyphase filter bank structure, which enables switching among the subchannels and gain control on each subchannel, resulting in effectively eliminating jamming. Furthermore, the nulling scheme, one of the various anti-jamming approaches, is investigated, in which unwanted jamming signals are eliminated in the frequency domain after passing through the analysis part of the polyphase filter bank. The performance of the nulling scheme is evaluated for tone jamming and partial band jamming in terms of BER and EVM. The simulation results indicate that the nulling scheme improve the BER and EVM performance over the case without any anti-jamming approach.

As the information age comes out, the aspect of future war brings about the many changes in terms of war-fighting environment. Accordingly, information superiority and intelligence-centric warfare have been important and new war-fighting concept such as NCW(network centric warfare) have been turned up. This paper proposed all-weather core-strategy communications systems guaranteeing not only the real-time transmission of the information collected in a battlefield and expansion, automation, and rapidity of a battlefield but also broadband, mobility, survivability, and flexibility. The proposed military satellite communications system is classified into wideband mass capacity link, survivability, and the system supporting OTM(on the move) communication for the real-time transmission of battlefield information. This paper analyzed the essential operation concepts and core schemes of the U.S. Army's next generation system, TSAT(Transformational Satellite Communication System). Base on the analysis results, this paper proposed that the architecture of next generation military satellite communications systems for NCW have to provide the data rate, anti-jamming capability, network control and management capability which are optimally adaptable for the wireless channel environments such as jamming and interference and to support the variety of platforms like high-speed mobile vehicles, micromini devices, super-high speed unmanned aerial vehicles. Finally, this paper also proposed that next generation military satellite communications systems need the technologies such as the adaptable multi-antenna, laser link, and next-generation anti-jamming waveform.
