ELECTRONIC WARFARE IN RADAR SYSTEMS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECM AND ECCM

Abstract

In electronic warfare, electronic counter measures (ECM) and electronic counter-counter measures (ECCM) are always in competition with each other. These are used for aircrafts under high risk against the enemy’s air defense radars are incapable of attacking and detecting in the sensitive areas. In this paper, ECM are explained with the noise jamming and deception jamming and ECCM are explained with Pulse compression, Frequency hopping, Side lobe blanking and Polarization. Jammer peak power and radar peak power versus burn through range are simulated, Finally, the paper reports on the use of ECCM techniques to retain use of the spectrum when jammers are present in radar and communications systems.
