Formulas for measuring radar ECCM capability
Abstract
It is pointed out that Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM) capability is one of the most important functions of a radar. There is, however, no simple and generalized method for measuring it. Johnston (1974) has suggested that the radar ECCM effectiveness should be expressed by ECCM improvement factors (EIF). A disadvantage of EIF is related to the fact that it cannot measure the ECCM capability of the whole radar system. The present investigation is concerned with a new method for measuring radar ECCM capability. Attention is given to a study of basic radar and ECCMs against type of ECM, the use of output target signal and ECM signal power ratio, supplementary factors, the ECCM capability for a multichannel radar system, and calculation examples involving four air-defense multichannel surveillance radar systems.
