Jamming of radar guided missile receivers are extremely difficult as the frequency lock and the servo lock requires no deviations in the repeater waveform of the jammer and its frequency. Broadband repeat jamming of such missile radar receiver is illustrated in this paper for effective deception in the presence of FM CW (Continuous Wave) interference signal. The modulation index of the FM jammer required for breaking the frequency lock of the monopulse receiver is determined and its variation with radar echo signal amplitude is presented. It is shown that modulation index required for jamming the receiver increases with increase in amplitude of the received radar echo. It is also verified that for particular radar echo amplitude, less modulation index is required for jamming the receiver when the modulating voltage in the FM jammer is maintained at large value. It is seen that break-lock in the receiver occurs when the FM modulation index is 8.75x103 or more for typical radar echo amplitude of 1 volt and FM modulating voltage of 5 mV and frequency of 0.2 MHz. The effectiveness of the jamming is estimated through computer simulation using Visual System Simulator.

In this paper, the repeat jamming of monopulse radar receiver in the presence of FM CW signal has been discussed. The simulation study shows that the modulation index required for break-lock is 88.75x103 or more for a typical modulating signal frequency of 0.2 MHz and amplitude of 5 mV. The method developed here permits the computation of modulation index for other values of modulating frequency and voltage. It is seen that lower values of modulation index are enough for break lock to occur at higher values of modulating signal voltage. The frequency sensitivity of the FM jammer has significant effect in jamming the receiver. Thus, it can be concluded that modulation index and frequency sensitivity are the two key parameters which are to be taken into account for effective jamming of the monopulse receiver in the case of FM broadband jamming.
