Due to advantages such as low power consumption and high concealment, deceptive jamming against synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has received extensive attention in electronic countermeasures. However, the false targets generated by most of the deceptive jamming methods still have limitations, such as poor controllability and strong regularity. Inspired by the idea of waveform coding, this paper proposed a repeater-type SAR deceptive jamming method through the joint encoding of amplitude and phase in intra-pulse and inter-pulse, which can generate a two-dimensional controllable deceptive jamming effect. Specifically, the proposed method mainly includes two parts, i.e., grouping and encoding. The number of groups determines the number of false targets, and the presence of the phase encoding produces false targets. The amplitude encoding affects the amplitude of the false targets. For the intra-pulse cases, the proposed method first samples the intercepted SAR signal. Meanwhile, the sampling points are grouped in turn. For the inter-pulse cases, the grouped objects are the pulses. Subsequently, the joint encoding of amplitude and phase is performed on each group, which generates jamming signals with deceptive effects. In this paper, the imaging effect of the generated jamming signals is analyzed in detail, and the characteristics of false targets, including numbers, position, and amplitude, are derived. The simulation and experimental results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. In addition, the superiority of the proposed method is verified by comparing it with other methods.

Although the multiple-phase-sectionalized-modulation (MPSM) jamming can produce barrage jamming effects in a local range, the range of barrage jamming can't be controlled. Against this disadvantage, an improved MPSM jamming method based on a non-linear frequency-modulate (NLFM) signal, i.e., MBN, is proposed in this paper. The MBN realizes the control of the jamming range in the fast time domain based on the controllable time-frequency structure of the NLFM signal. To generate the desired NLFM signal, the shaping factor is defined. Subsequently, the feasibility and effectiveness of the MBN jamming method are confirmed by simulation experiments.
