Study of Power Requirements for X-Band Jamming from Surface Vessels
Abstract
An investigation has been made to determine the power requirements for X-band jamming from surface vessels, taking into consideration the near-zone propagation effects. Experimental data obtained from actual jamming exercises designed to give quantitative results show remarkable agreement with theory. The beam powers required to jam a surface search radar and a fire -control radar are given. It is also shown that if the multiple factors involved in a jamming situation are not clearly identified, errors in power determination amounting to several db can result. The data is also valid in the surface-to-air problem when surface reflection is a factor.
