Jammer effects on target detection radars

Target detection and target positioning is one of the most important approaches in the field of radar signal processing, and it is a radar system used to obtain location information of target elements from a safe distance without approaching the target area. The main purpose of moving target detection radars is motion detection and generally the detection of moving people. The values of radar parameters such as bandwidth, center frequency and antenna gain etc. affect the motion detection and imaging performance of the moving target detection radar. Moving target detection generally includes some basic signal processing steps; imaging, background subtraction, moving target detection, target positioning, noise removal, etc. The performance of the algorithms in all these steps affects the success of the whole system. Raw data acquired from the target by using electromagnetic waves may include ambiguity and distortions, it is significantly affected by environmental conditions. Jammers can adversely affect system performance. Therefore, the effects of the Jammer on different types of radar were compared by collecting data with real different radar types (FMCW, SFCW and Pseudo-Noise Radar) with experiments involving various scenarios.
