What are the types of radar interference?

Radar technology plays a crucial role in various applications, from communication to defense and scientific research. However, radar systems are susceptible to interference, which can disrupt their functionality. Let's explore different types of radar interference and how our company's cutting-edge products can mitigate these challenges.

Types of Radar Interference:

Frequency Matching: Radar interference systems must emit signals at the same frequency as the radar being targeted. This principle applies not only to noise interference but also to deception interference. Mismatched frequencies will render the interference ineffective, as the radar won't receive or display the interfering signal.

Continuous Interference: To achieve maximum impact, jamming transmitters should produce continuous interference. Intermittent interference may fail to completely mask the target, as experienced radar operators or advanced automatic trackers can see through intermittent interference and counter its effects.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): The SNR is a crucial consideration to determine if interference can effectively cover the target signal. Effective jamming occurs when the interference signal's strength surpasses that of the target signal, preventing the radar from detecting the target.

Jamming Signal Ratio (JSR): JSR is another method of evaluating interference effectiveness by comparing the strength of the interference signal to that of the target signal.

Burnthrough Range: The ideal interference system should minimize the burnthrough range to limit the radar's ability to detect the target. The burnthrough range represents the minimum distance at which the radar can detect the target under given jamming conditions. When the target enters this range, the radar's power is sufficient to overcome the interference signal, allowing the target to be detected again.
