A waveform-agile jamming duel demonstrator

A potent software-based demonstrator is described for agile pulse transmission in shaped noise jamming and clutter interference. Four distinct and interacting FIR digital filter coefficient sets accounting for prevailing signaling conditions are of central importance. The entity using its coefficients to shape its emitted noise power spectrum elicits the most-disruptive jamming currently possible. Likewise, the opposing entity undertakes optimal pulse-shaping/detection filtering aimed at countering the most recent jamming transmission. The optimal filter design algorithms underlying the demonstrator are emphasized, along with discussions of nonlinear design effects connected with clutter, static out-take plots of simulation runs and selectable suboptimal compromises.
