An Analysis of Coherent Digital Receivers in a Jamming Environment

Abstract

The effect of various jammer waveforms on known optimum coherent digital receivers is analyzed and evaluated in terms of receiver performance. The optimum jammer waveform for the specified receiver is derived and several jamming strategies are studied and compared to the optimum case. These jammer waveforms strategies include deterministic models of tonal, weighted signals, frequency modulated, and additive white noise jammers. An M-ARY digital coherent receiver using orthogonal modulation (FSK), is subjected to various jammer waveforms and the receiver performance analyzed. Graphical results based on numerical analyzes are presented to show the effects of jammer waveforms on receiver performance.
