Platform skin return and multiple-element linear retrodirective cross-eye jamming

Abstract

The effect of platform skin return on multiple-element retrodirective cross-eye jamming (MRCJ) system is investigated, allowing the differences between multiple jammer loops to be considered. The jammer antennas employ a linear array with a common center. The median value of the total cross-eye gain and the jamming-to-signal ratio (JSR) are derived to explore their relationship. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of MRCJ in the presence of platform skin return.
