Abstract :
A countermeasure technique to a follower tone-jammer is evaluated for frequency-hopped spread spectrum communications. This technique utilizes randomized decisions by the transmitter and the receiver to lure the jammer into helping the communicator´s performance part of the time. It is shown that the proposed technique reduces the bit error rate of the system.<>
