Novel LFM Jammer Suppression Algorithm for DSSS in FRFT Domain

A novel algorithm is proposed to resolve the defects in the traditional linear frequency modulation (LFM) jamming suppression algorithm in the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) domain. The traditional LFM jamming suppression algorithm in the FRFT domain has some defects. For example, the exact threshold is difficult to set and both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss and spectrum leakage are serious in strong jamming-to-signal ratio (JSR) situations. Windowing, overlapping and inverse windowing techniques are used in the FRFT domain to reduce the spectrum leakage and the SNR loss. Under the condition that only the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signal and white Gaussian noise are present, the amplitude of the received signal after FRFT is assumed to be Rayleigh distributed. Based on the distribution characteristic, hypothesis testing is used to suppress the jamming spectrum using the algorithm. Simulation results show that the performance of proposed algorithm is better than that of the conventional algorithms, especially in a strong jamming and multi component LFM jamming environment.
