Abstract :
Sidelobe blanking (SLB) devices are used in connection with the radar system to reduce the number of false alarms due to impulsive interference. This paper presents analytical expressions for the probability of blanking a sidelobe jammer interference via an SLB device for two statistical models of interference amplitude, namely, the Swerling Chi and shadowed Rice models. Performance curves are presented and the role of the different jammer parameters thoroughly investigated.
