Electronic warfare recently has became the core of modern warfare and the importance of communication survivability is being considerable day by day. In this paper, we propose an effective jamming avoidance algorithm aginst widely used jamming environment such as GPS jamming. In order to simulate to show our system performance, we consider IEEE 802.16 WiMAX protocol and partial band jamming envoriment. Proposed algorithm can improve channel capacity through subchannelization and we show channel capacity corresponding to subchannel parameter.

We analyze the jamming/deception performance of an active decoy against ground tracking radars on dynamic combat scenarios. Based on the movement and the interference flow of an airborne platform, the trajectories of the active decoy is accurately calculated by solving 6-degree of freedom equations of motion. On realistic combat scenarios, numerical simulations are examined to analyze the jamming performance of the decoy for various movements of the platform and RF specifications of the active decoy. Effective jamming/deception area against the ground tracking radars is estimated from the simulation.

In this paper, we propose a new method to quickly deinterleave the stagger PRI signals and D&S(Dwell and Switch) PRI signals from the EP radar using the electronic warfare system. While former algorithms were based on stochastic methods only using the first deviation of the TOA of radar signals, this paper uses the first and the second deviation of the TOA of radar signals to deinterleave multiple PRIs of EP radars. When we simulate multiple PRIs of EP radars and test the simulated radar signals using the proposed algorithm, various PRI signals such as fixed, jitter, D&S and stagger PRI are well deinterleaved in a short time. This algorithm is found to be very useful for electronic warfare systems.

Passive emitter localization is preferred to use a small number of receivers as possible for the efficiency of strategic management in the field of modern electronic warfare support. Accurate emitter localization can be expected when utilizing continuous measurable parameters and a appropriate combination of theirs. For this reason, we compare CRLB (Cramer-Rao lower bound) of two moving platform with various measurable parameters to choose a appropriate combination of parameters for a better localization performance. And we propose the passive emitter localization method based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with combined TDOA/FDOA and DOA to achieve better accuracy of emitter localization which is located on the ground and stationary. In addition, we present a method for determining the initial emitter position for LM algorithm's input to avoid the divergence of estimation and local minimum.

The accuracy of instantaneous passive emitter localization varies with sensing platforms and measurable parameters. Appropriate combination of instantaneous measurable parameters have more accurate localization performance than a single parameter based localization in general. Emitter localization is preferred to use a small number of receivers as possible for the efficiency of strategic management in the field of modern electronic warfare support. For this reason, we compare CRLB (Cramer-Rao lower bound) of two moving platform with various measurable parameters to search a appropriate choice of parameters for the better localization performance through the x-y axis CEP (circular error probable) derived form CLRB. In addition, we present the relation of the localization performance and accuracy of measurable parameters.

In this paper, we analyze the antenna performance changes caused by the aircraft structure, diffraction and reflection, when the direction finding antenna used in the aircraft is mounted on the aircraft. Direction finding antenna is an antenna that receives radar threat signal in the direction finding device of aircraft electronic warfare system. Recently, because various antenna are mounted on an aircraft, various analyzes such as antenna performance and interference analysis are required. Therefore, the electromagnetic analysis was carried out by installing a broadband direction finding antenna with 50% bandwidth on simulated aircraft, and the direction finding performance was analyzed by comparing the single antenna performance with the performance mounted on the aircraft. The analyzed direction finding accuracy was $6.47^{\circ}$ RMS and predicted to be suitable as an antenna for aircraft direction finding antenna.

We propose a new technique of deinterleaving multiple radar pulse sequences by means of genetic algorithm for threat identification in electronic warfare(EW) system. The conventional approaches based on histogram or continuous wavelet transform are so deterministic that they are subject to failing in detection of individual signal characteristics under real EW signal environment that suffers frequent signal missing, noise, and counter-EW signal. The proposed algorithm utilizes the probabilistic optimization procedure of genetic algorithm. This method, a time-of-arrival(TOA) only strategy, constructs an initial chromosome set using the difference of TOA. To evaluate the fitness of each gene, the defined pulse phase is considered. Since it is rare to meet with a single radar at a moment in EW field of combat, multiple solutions are to be derived in the final stage. Therefore it is designed to terminate genetic process at the prematured generation followed by a chromosome grouping. Experimental results for simulated and real radar signals show the improved performance in estimating both the number of radar and the pulse repetition interval.

The emitter geolocation method using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and the frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) has more accurate performance comparing to the single TDOA or FDOA based method. The estimation performance varies with the sensor paring strategies, the deployment and velocities of the sensors. Therefore, to establish effective strategy on the electronic warfare system, it is required to analyze the relation between the estimation accuracy and the operational condition of sensors. However, in the conventional non-iterative method, the restriction of the deployment of sensors and the reference sensor exists. Therefore, we derive the emitter geolocation method based on a Gauss-Newton method which is available to apply to any various sensor pairs and the deployment and velocities of the sensors. In addition, simulation results are included to compare the performance of geolocation method according to the used measurements: the combined TDOA/FDOA, TDOA, and FDOA. Also, we present that the combined TDOA/FDOA method outperforms over single TDOA or FDOA on the estimation accuracy with the CEP plane.

In this paper, a new signal processing technique is proposed for calibrating gain, phase, delay offsets in array antenna based anti-jamming minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) global-positioning-system (GPS) receivers. The proposed technique estimates gain, phase and delay offsets across the antennas, and compensates for the offsets based on the estimates. A pilot signal with good correlation characteristics is used for accurate estimation of the gain, phase and delay offsets. Based on the cross-correlation, the delay offset is first estimated and then gain/phase offsets are estimated. For fine delay offset estimation and compensation, an interpolation technique is used, and specifically, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is employed for the interpolation technique to reduce the computational complexity. The proposed technique is verified through computer simulation using MATLAB. According to the simulation results, the proposed technique can reduce the gain, phaes and delay offset to 0.01 dB, 0.05 degree, and 0.5 ns, respectively.

In this paper, we present a novel pulse train identification method for two step stagger pulse train. Generally radar uses a fixed pulse train, and it is easy for electronic warfare system to measure the pulse repeat interval(PRI) and identify the radar. But it is very difficult to measure the PRI of stagger pulse radar because the pulse interval is periodically changed. We suggest a novel method to measure the PRI and identify the radars using the second deviation of pulse train. This method is faster comparing with Histogram method. We have a good PRI measurement results for 2 step stagger signals.
