Abstract:

A process for accurately predicting the effects of a sweep jammer signal, ose waveform is given, on a targeted radio receiver communication link whose signaling curve is known. The process analyzes the critical physical and electrical characteristics of both the sweep jamming signal and the targeted radio receiver, and determines whether the sweep jammer signal is perceived by the receiver as being a sweep jammer, a barrage jammer, or something in between the two. Moreover, the process determines the jamming signal's effect on the receiver's peak and background Bit Error Rates which are then used to accurately calculate the sweep jamming signal's effect on the average Bit Error Rate.
