The interrupted-sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) can cause false targets to the radio-frequency proximity sensors (RFPSs), resulting in a serious decline in the target detection capability of the RFPS. This article proposes a recognition method for RFPSs to identify the false targets caused by ISRJ. The proposed method is realized by assigning a unique identity (ID) to each RFPS, and each ID is a periodically and chaotically encrypted in every pulse period. The processing technique of the received signal is divided into ranging and ID decryption. In the ranging part, a high-resolution range profile (HRRP) can be obtained by performing pulse compression with the binary chaotic sequences. To suppress the noise, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied in the preprocessing. Regarding ID decryption, targets and ISRJ can be recognized through the encryption and decryption processes, which are controlled by random keys. An adaptability analysis conducted in terms of the peak-to-side lobe ratio (PSLR) and bit error rate (BER) indicates that the proposed method performs well within a 70-kHz Doppler shift. A simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method achieves extremely stable target and ISRJ recognition accuracies at different signal-to-noise ratios （SNRs） and jamming-to-signal ratios (JSRs).

This paper considers the problem of target and jamming recognition for the pulse Doppler radar fuze (PDRF). To solve the problem, the matched filter outputs of the PDRF under the action of target and jamming are analyzed. Then, the frequency entropy and peak-to-peak ratio are extracted from the matched filter output of the PDRF, and the time-frequency joint feature is constructed. Based on the time-frequency joint feature, the naive Bayesian classifier (NBC) with minimal risk is established for target and jamming recognition. To improve the adaptability of the proposed method in complex environments, an online update process that adaptively modifies the classifier in the duration of the work of the PDRF is proposed. The experiments show that the PDRF can maintain high recognition accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) decreases and the jamming-to-signal ratio (JSR) increases. Moreover, the applicable analysis shows that he ONBCMR method has low computational complexity and can fully meet the real-time requirements of PDRF.

Pulse Doppler (PD) fuze is widely used in current battlefield. However, with the threat of repeater jamming, especially digital radio frequency memory technology, the deficiency in the anti-repeater jamming of a traditional PD fuze increasingly emerges. Therefore, a repeater jamming suppression method for a PD fuze based on identity (ID) recognition and chaotic encryption is proposed. Every fuze has its own ID which is encrypted with different chaotic binary sequences in every pulse period of the transmitted signal. The thumbtack-shaped ambiguity function shows a good resolution and distance cut-off characteristic. The ability of anti-repeater jamming is emphatically analyzed, and the results at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) show a strong anti-repeater jamming ability and range resolution that the proposed method possesses. Furthermore, the anti-repeater jamming ability is influenced by processing gain, bit error rate (BER) and correlation function. The simulation result validates the theoretical analysis, it shows the proposed method can significantly improve the anti-repeater jamming ability of a PD fuze.

In this paper, a novel direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm using directional antennas in cylindrical conformal arrays (CCAs) is proposed. To eliminate the shadow effect, we divide the CCAs into several subarrays to obtain the complete output vector. Considering the anisotropic radiation pattern of a CCA, which cannot be separated from the manifold matrix, an improved interpolation method is investigated to transform the directional subarray into omnidirectional virtual nested arrays without non-orthogonal perturbation on the noise vector. Then, the cross-correlation matrix (CCM) of the subarrays is used to generate the consecutive co-arrays without redundant elements and eliminate the noise vector. Finally, the full-rank equivalent covariance matrix is constructed using the output of co-arrays, and the unitary estimation of the signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) is performed on the equivalent covariance matrix to estimate the DOAs with low computational complexity. Numerical simulations verify the superior performance of the proposed algorithm, especially under a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment.

Signal modulation is an essential design factor for proximity detectors and directly affects the system’s potential performance. In order to achieve the advantages of chaotic codes bi-phase modulation (CCBPM) and linear frequency modulation (LFM) simultaneously, this paper designed a waveform which combined chaotic codes bi-phase modulation and linear frequency modulation (CCBPM–LFM) for proximity detectors. The CCBPM–LFM waveform was analyzed in the aspect of time delay resolution (TDR) and Doppler tolerance (DT) based on ambiguity function (AF). Then, a ranging method, which we called instant correlation harmonic demodulation (ICHD), was presented for the detector using the CCBPM–LFM waveform. By combining time domain instant correlation with harmonic demodulation, the ICHD solved the problem caused by combination modulation and made the most of the linear frequency modulation (LFM) harmonics and the correlation of chaotic codes. Finally, a prototype was implemented and ranging experiments were carried out. From the theoretical analysis and experimental results, the proximity detector used the CCBPM–LFM waveform has an outstanding detection performance.

The conventional Duffing oscillator weak signal detection method, which is based on a strong reference signal, has inherent deficiencies. To address these issues, the characteristics of the Duffing oscillatorʼs phase trajectory in a small-scale periodic state are analyzed by introducing the theory of stopping oscillation system. Based on this approach, a novel Duffing oscillator weak wide-band signal detection method is proposed. In this novel method, the reference signal is discarded, and the to-be-detected signal is directly used as a driving force. By calculating the cosine function of a phase space angle, a single Duffing oscillator can be used for weak wide-band signal detection instead of an array of uncoupled Duffing oscillators. Simulation results indicate that, compared with the conventional Duffing oscillator detection method, this approach performs better in frequency detection intervals, and reduces the signal-to-noise ratio detection threshold, while improving the real-time performance of the system.
